The germ theory of disease
I’ve started going to the regular gym again, because I’m not getting any younger, and I didn’t buy a big enough house to install a home gym [1] [2]. I’m not surprised, but I am amazed at the number of people who hit the hand sanitizer after every exercise. And yet I’m the only person […]

In my cohort [2], the unmarried of us own small houses, and the married and divorced […]
