Gotham Episode Review: “Welcome Back, Jim Gordon”
I personally have always thought this show should have gone a bit further into Gotham's history and started while Bruce Wayne's parents were still alive and before he was born (or still an infant). Mazouz isn't a bad actor, it's just he really ...

I totally agree. Start by examining how you spend your money and I'm sure you will find things you don't really need. Then you can live on less money. Staying healthy is the key - treat your body well and enjoy life.

An Easy, Healthy Way to Lose Some Weight Quickly
One problem that I have with diets is that many are designed for women, whose calory needs are lower than men's, so I find it hard to calibrate what I need. Moreover, while not very tall, I am very sturdily built, taking extra large coat sizes ...

I don't know why you call it "pre"-retirement because it seems like retirement to me - retiring from one's usual employment to move on to the next stage of life. I did this about 4 years ago and have never looked back. I love the ability to be ...

Excellent article. I'm always thrilled to find verification of the wild horse as native to North America!
Now, in order to keep them running free and safe, we must find a way to get them ...

Thanks. The term redefinition did not cross my mind, but it is what I wanted to say. You base the redefinition on how you feel in yourself, adjusting your work to match your emotional state and energy levels. Redefinition is therefore part of ...

Great article! I love the idea that we redefine our lives, not just stop working at "retirement." In fact, to stop working altogether seems unlikely to be fulfilling or even healthy. But devoting time to what matters most, which would include ...

Gotham Episode Review: “Welcome Back, Jim Gordon”
This is a great show. I totally agree that the Cat girl and Bruce scene was odd. I almost forgot that they were actually part of this series.
