I just finished reading T he Ravenmaster: My Life with the Ravens atthe Tower of London , and I recommend it wholeheartedly. You may know the legend – if the ravens ever leave the Tower, the kingdom will fall. If you don’t, you’ll find out more about it in this book, along with folklore, history, and superstitions about ravens. You’ll also learn about Yeoman Warder Christopher Skaife, who is responsible for caring for the ravens. In The Ravenmaster , he tells us all about the birds, each with their own distinct personality, and their routines. What they eat, where they sleep, how they will steal your snacks, especially Pringles, how intelligent they are, their pecking order and social structure. His affection and respect for his charges show clearly. They have an inspiring partnership. Skaife is honest and funny. A really enjoyable book. 

by Cheryl Brooks About two years ago, my new doctor recommended that I lose some weight. My liver enzymes had been elevated for a few years, which my previous doctor never seemed to notice. A CT of the abdomen for an unrelated problem had shown some fatty liver disease, which was the probable cause of the abnormal labs. He said only a few pounds would make a big difference, otherwise, I was looking at the possibility of developing cirrhosis of the liver, even without excessive alcohol intake.  As it turned out, since the previous lab work was drawn (which were the results he was looking at), I had already lost about five pounds, mainly from working my ass off all summer. The results were still in the high end of normal, so he encouraged me to lose even more weight, and it didn't have to be a lot. Another five pounds would be enough. Something in his manner suggested he didn't think I could do it. He was wrong. I started on a diet (the Mediterranean diet minus sugar, bre...

I’ve been thinking about kindness lately. Some days it seems in short supply in the world. So I googled “random acts of kindness” and made a list of some things that I will add to my repertoire to spread some kindness. Send out encouragement. Maybe a heartening email to a friend or acquaintance. Maybe a positive comment on a website. Praise for a local business you patronize. Read an awesome book, article or blog post? Send a little love to the author. Trash. I’ve wheeled my neighbor’s trash bins back from the curb when I did my own. Why not? I’m out there anyway. Picking up bits of refuse here and there and throwing them in a container is nice too. Gratitude. It’s known to be good for you. What if you thanked someone at least once a week? Even wrote and sent thank you notes? Giving. For example, a nimal shelters are always in need of supplies and can use your old towels and blankets. I have volunteered with the ASPCA and seen how their rescues en...
