Don's Blog Missouri Medicine editorial July-1989

This is an editorial written at the time AIDS was untreatable and uniformly fatal. That has changed and  

the treatment for AIDs is almost uniformly successful. What will be the next 'untreatable' disease? When it comes 

the issue of who will care for these patients will again arise.

Don's Blog Magic Trails II 12-22-23

Here are some more of the treasures on the Magic Trails behind our house. There are several small strings of 

Buddhist prayer flags to set the tone.

And some art objects to examine.

The sun oversees the action.

There is an Egyptian physician dispensing medicine,

and Tutankhamen observing.

Some fish have come out of the creek,

and the flowers continue to bloom.

Happy Trails and Merry Christmas.

Don's Blog Magic Trails I 12-20-23

After retiring one of my joys has been to create and care for a set of trails in the wooded hills

behind our house. As part of the 'fun' of simplifying the house I have recently added treasures to the trails. Some are 

very obvious and some not so much. You are invited to walk these Magic Trails and enjoy finding the surprises.

The start of the trail immediately behind the house is guarded by a gnome. Don't worry about him - he has his eyes closed.

Many of the objects on the trail at times have adorned the walls of our back porch. How they got into

the charity box is a mystery.

There are multiple flowers on the trail that bloom all year long. They are from an end of year 

sale at a local store. I have had my eye on them for years.

This treasure is from one of Jan's art projects.

This regal lady loves her view of the trail.

And Jan has joined in the fun.

And there is more to come.

Don's Blog A Phone Call 12-13-23

Here is my Missouri Medicine editorial for May of 1989. On this topic I automatically think, "Don't tread on me".

I don't know if that is valuable but the issue is complex and I don't have the answer.

I am blessed to have two artists in my family. My wife is an extraordinary multimedia artist. My youngest son is an amazing photographer. I will be sharing some of their work this winter.
