Mark Your Ballot Against Circumcision?
As a doctor for health who treats both children and adults, I have mixed feelings about San Francisco Superior Court Judge, Loretta Georgi’s, tentative ruling last Wednesday regarding the criminalization of circumcision. Although, according to Wikipedia, the origin of male circumcision is not known with certainty, one thing is certain, it has been a practice, [...]
Snakes and the San Francisco Zoo
I’ve been going to the San Francisco Zoo for years. As a family chiropractor, I often take a day off during the week so that I can be available on Saturdays for whole families to come in at one time, so it makes it easy for me to visit the Zoo on weekdays, non-summer and [...]
Heads Up SF Pedestrians, a Driver May Have You in His Headlights!
Now, before I write about the ridiculous new finding regarding pedestrian/auto encounters, let me just say that I am a health care professional, a chiropractor in fact, who often “blames” his patients for the state of their health. Some things, like a healthy lifestyle are an obvious choice when one is considering their health and [...]
Metaphysical Church in Flint, MI, Looks For “Sister” in San Francisco!
I was on a venture quest not too long ago to find a metaphysical church in San Francisco that might want to become a “sister church” to one of the metaphysical churches Flint (in the beautiful state of Michigan), the city made famous by Michael Moore. I discovered many churches of all denominations and non-denominations; [...]
No More Free Rides…For Our Groceries?
Did you know that San Francisco was the first city in the country to ban the pervasive plastic shopping bag? That right! Three years ago, right here in the city. Of course it didn’t take long before Palo Alto and Oakland followed suit, and we’re always happy to lead the environmental way, and to keep [...]
Climate Change: The Cost of Doing Nothing
There are things in life that we regret (in hindsight). Like the song goes, “If I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then…” If we could see into the future and know “now” what will will surely know “then,” no person on earth would fail to do whatever it takes to stop global warming. [...]
Devil's Slide
Several years ago, my wife and I closed our chiropractic clinic in the city for the day and took her mother on a road trip. My mother-in-law, from the flat world of Nebraska, was a few years away, at that time, from retiring as a chiropractor, herself. She’s a very nice person and somewhat adventurous [...]
Walt Disney Family Museum is Open…At Last!
All right, I have to admit it. I am a dyed-in-the-wool Disney fan. Yes, Harry Potter is great, but I still have fond memories of my first trip to Disneyland (the first year it opened in Buena Park and I was five-years-old). I suppose that’s why I asked my very creative CA, Kim, to paint [...]
Lighting Up the City With Wind Power
On Tuesday Mayor Newsom announced plans for installing turbines on rooftops around the city, stating, “We want to challenge the perception that wind is a rural or suburban phenomenon and not an urban resource.” He said that a goal of commercializing small-scale wind power and bringing down the cost of renewable electricity, and that small-scale [...]
Free and Easy San Francisco Style
If you’re like me, you are visited frequently by family and friends (and friends of friends) who love San Francisco (at least for the weekend). And, I’m not complaining, really, about providing food and entertainment for most of my visitors. I’m a chiropractor who is doing okay even in this economy. In fact, most people [...]
