I guess I made a good impression. Was invited back by Maryanna D. Klatt. Ph.D. Assistant Professor Clinical Allied Medicine to speak to her “The Evolving Art and Science of Medicine” class at The Ohio State University about “The Year My Dad Went Bald,” and the healing process that went along with the creation of the book for the second year in a row. It was a great class with lots insightful questions from the students. I look forward to visiting the class again next year. Also was honored to meet co-speaker Mary Fisher who is helping the fight against cancer with her Grateful Hearts Designs. She makes and sells wonderful mittens from recycled sweaters and all proceeds benefit the Arthur James Cancer Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Check them out at http://www.gratefulheartdesign.com/

The check-ups have been reduced to a series of rote exercises; take a deep breath, turn your head […]

But I am not complaining, the publishing […]
