April 14, 2019 at 10:00AM by CWC Prunes have such a bad rap that, in 2000, plum growers got permission from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market their fruit “dried plums” instead of “prunes.” It makes sense: How appetizing can a fruit be when it conjures images of wrinkled fingers after a too-long,… Continue Reading →

March 18, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC Therapist Quest 2019 is well underway for me, and so far, I’ve been far more successful at finding people who definitely aren’t a fit. It feels like a sick-joke, real-world version of Are You My Mother? That’s because I want to find someone who comes highly recommended, yet being recommended… Continue Reading →

March 12, 2019 at 01:00PM by CWC I’m pretty diligent about working on my core.

February 18, 2019 at 08:01AM by CWC After a particularly grueling run, soreness in your legs is pretty much a given, but every once in a while when I’m pounding the pavement, my head starts pounding too, and I wind up with a headache after running. A quick Google search confirms that I’m not the only one… Continue Reading →
