SuperBetter. Top Story - January 2024.
All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; -Jaques, in Shakespeare's As You Like It Play. We started playing as a way to find our own feet, to learn to talk, to imitate our parents and siblings, as a way to hone our skills, to get in shape, to while away extra time, to reduce our stress.

The Papal Announcement
Over 60 years ago my mother had a miscarriage. It was her third pregnancy in as many years. She lost a lot of blood and required a transfusion. She got hepatitis from the blood transfusion. The disease ruined her liver. She died when I was just over 3 years old.
