What can we discuss while we wait for our Thanksgiving repasts to digest? Black Friday shopping? No matter what some people think, I prefer to write about things of which I have first hand knowledge and the day after Thanksgiving shopping craze isn’t one of them. First of all, it’s badly misnamed. Black Friday is not nearly descriptive enough. It ought to be called Too Awful Friday or Crowded Madness Friday or Consumer Activities for the Insane Friday.

Dear Dietitian,

I became interested in Director Ridley Scott’s latest production, “Napoleon,” when I read a review that indicated that the French were not particularly satisfied with his portrayal of Napoleon, so my husband and I headed to the local theatre.

Good morning! Thanksgiving greetings from our home to yours.

Human beings have been entrusted with a tremendous power in regard to our connections and relationships with one another. We have the power to tear down, and we have the power to build up. We have to power to encourage, and we have the power to discourage. We have the power to bring hurt, and we have the power to bring healing. The question is, which one will we choose to exercise?
