his experience yet, but maybe one of these days he’ll take a few
minutes to write about it. So who am I talking about? Delbert
Blickenstaff, M.D. Retired. The Family Healthcare icon turned 90 years
old on July 3. The next day he headed off to Kentucky (or was it

Preempting the New Year’s Resolution Madness...
Be Less Stressed
By Kayla Lemar
Maybe your mom just had a baby—a wonderful baby, that poops and
slobbers and hogs attention. Trig could be on your course list
for fall, which means serious rejection potential for that academic
