The Manuscript in Progress

To some of you, my closer peeps, know that I have been toying around with the idea of a writing project. Coming from many years of teaching in the EMS field, I get questions each year from students and peers that are interesting and sometimes make me think...hmmm, how DOES that work? My son had a very inquisitive mind growing up (and still does as a father with a child of his own now) always trying to figure out how things work or how it came to be that way. This continuing occurance leads me to the same thought processes. Coupled with the fact that as I go through the aging process and have an interest in geriatric physiology, I have decided to entertain this project, though in journal form and in the beginning of the research phase, this manuscript will be a cross between Erma Bombeck explains the aging process in a humanistic but medically correct, physiologically, with of course, a twist of humor. I will entertain any notions you might want to ask about or get the explanation about things they never tell you like why women lose their eyebrows and why men's continue to grow long enough to do the comb-over. And yes, Josh I will find out what happens to the inside of the bellybutton and what it is hitched to. I'll keep you informed of the progress. In the meantime, send me the questions you may want the answers to. I'll let you know how it goes....
