Problems are almost always underfoot

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

Is drinking Coke an acceptable thing for those who run and ride?

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

After my own family doctor warned me that caffeine was the enemy in more than one way, I became a zealot for the anti-Coke habit.

Posted on April 2, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

Obviously I use the term “devolution” loosely in today’s blog title. Technically the word has political roots. As in: “the transfer or delegation of power to a lower level, especially by central government to local or regional administration.” Well, the … Continue reading →

Posted on February 26, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth
