The other night my wife and I sat down and watched both parts of 'The History of the Eagles' on Showtime.

If you missed it, I … [Read more...]

I just wanted to post a quick update for those of you that have asked how I'm doing with my new regimen of lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements). Long story short I received a phone call the other day from my doctor where he told me to basically start weening myself off of my blood pressure medicines because my blood pressure (on the medicine) was too low! Needless to say he didn't have to tell me twice!! I've been … [Read more...]
