Announcing a shift in my research to the interconnected fields of religion, business Ethics, and the economic order.

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Amazing! And well deserved!

Time for one of the highlights of my year: a three-day long volleyball tournament for 13 year olds spread over 50+ courts.
