Did the Angels, and particularly General Manager Perry Minasian, hit the panic button too soon? Yes, that sounds strange in the throes of a 12-game losing streak, one which dropped the Angels from the AL West lead to 8½ games out of first and 1½ games out of a wild card spot going into Tuesday night. And evidently, Manager Joe Maddon wasn’t expecting the news Tuesday morning when Minasian showed up at his doorstep to fire him. “A little bit. Actually, a lot,” Maddon told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, when asked if he was surprised. “You always rely on...

The effort is to reduce abandonment and missing pets, but some aren’t on board. Starting June 1, the Japanese government enacted a law requiring that dogs and cats at pet shops and breeders be microchipped. The law was enacted in an effort to help missing pets reunite with their owners and to reduce cases of animals being recklessly abandoned. The microchip that will be implanted into the pups and kittens is only about two millimeters (0.08 inches) long, and within the chip is stored a 15-digit number that links up to the owner’s name, address, and contact info.

Step 1: Think BIG with gross motor skills! Pre-writing and handwriting skills are one of the most frequent activities I get questions about as a school based occupational therapist. It makes sense! In school, students spend a lot of their time engaging in paper and pencil tasks to not only learn new content, but to also demonstrate their knowledge. However, children cannot simply “jump in” to writing their names or the alphabet. Nor are they ready to pick up a pencil until many underlying, prerequisite skills are established. The task of writing is very complex. Therefore, we need to break...

Kalissa and I took Friday as a no kids day…well no kids for about 5 hours while we ran away for the day.  One of the local junk/vendor shows was on and we decided to go. We had a great time together.  First we went to the junk/vintage shop in Sumner Iowa that I love.  Then we went to the Amish.  We typically hit up the bent and dent grocery stores there.  They sell products that were damaged in production and overstock items.  A box of cereal might have a dented corner or they might be selling candy that was...
