Posted on April 19, 2017 by Christopher Cudworth

Posted on April 11, 2017 by Christopher Cudworth

Posted on March 31, 2017 by Christopher Cudworth

Perhaps you’ve had a stress test done to check the condition and performance of your heart. I’m having one this morning. Precautionary, mind you. Given a family history of heart issues, it is important to keep track of how everything … Continue reading →

The eyes have it

Posted on March 22, 2017 by Christopher Cudworth

Posted on March 17, 2017 by Christopher Cudworth

I love that Nike is coming out with clothing for Muslim women who want to compete in sports but maintain their religious tradition by doing so in Hijab. I watched a program about a women’s soccer team that wore less … Continue reading →
