Men's health is the focus of Wear BLUE Day on the Friday before Father's Day. By wearing blue, you are saying you support the men in your life to lead a healthy lifestyle, and you care about their well-being.
Also, June is National Men's Health Month.
1 in 6 men will have prostate cancer in his lifetime compared to 1 in 8 women who will have breast cancer in her lifetime. Yes, prostate cancer is more deadly than breast cancer. Federal funding for breast cancer research is 600 percent HIGHER than federal funding for prostate cancer research. That's SIX TIMES HIGHER.

This is my normal, default speed: slow. As a journalist from 1982 to 2017, I have had thousands of frantic deadlines, when I had to work at full speed. With one of my gigs, I was writing 13 to 16 financial articles EVERY DAY for a wire service, 13 of which had strict deadlines.
So, after my workdays were completed in all my gigs, I made it a point to physically and mentally overly slow myself, so I would relax my mind, and purposely and drastically slow my gait.
Now, that I have been dealing with major medical issues, I have no choice but to be slow until I completely recover. Actually, I am still unable to walk without support, following nine surgeries between March 2022 and May 2026: 1 heart, 2 chest, 2 spine, 1 right ankle, 1 both legs, 1 left foot, and 1 left leg.

I have a 24-hour analog watch that I don't wear. I think that it needs a battery replacement.

I don't drink martinis, but if I did, I would prefer gin to vodka.

I like Garfield's snarkiness.
