When it comes to the holidays, I'm like the little??old lady in the well-worn joke. She goes to a restaurant, finishes her meal, then presents the waiter with two complaints: one, the food was awful, and, two, there wasn't enough...
...devoted nine pages to little??more than half a dozen anecdotes decrying the sorry state of American medicine. Such fear mongering does a disservice to medical professionals who struggle to make every day one for which we should be grateful. But humans are not meant to live 90-plus years, nor are we meant to violate our bodies with stainless steel, latex and pharmaceuticals in the hope of fulfilling aspirations to immortality.

In 45 professional seasons (37 in football and eight in NBA basketball), New Orleans hasn't even had one of its home teams appear in a title game or series. So while I can certainly relate to the Boston sports fans' pain, let's have a little sports sympathy for a town that has really earned...
