I am in Miami. My hat is off to the Patriots who now join the 1972 Dolphins as having an undefeated regular season. If the Patriots win the Super Bowl, they will go down as one of the greatest teams ever!

I think that games (and all forms of entertainment) are an interesting diversion at times but that if overdone can cut into my productivity as a person and a professional. To me the best games are interactive where you are able to engage another human being and spend quality time together.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy and Healthy New Year filled with much wonder and joy!

Sorry, I meant mice fed sugar! (By the way I stay away from sugary drinks but for other health reasons)
Best, David

As an Alzheimer's researcher for 21 years, and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at a major medical school, I would have to take issue with one study that shows that gentically Alzheimer's mice fed more caffine developed greater brain pathology is necessarily generalizable to the human population. In my opinion, the eidemiological data suggest that until we can develop agents that are capable of preventing and disolving abnormal beta amyloid (senile plaques) and tau protein (neurofibrillary tangles) the best protective factors against the progression of Alzheimer's are the same factors that promote good cardiac health (regular exercise, weight control, controlled blood sugar). With regards to Rob's comment, I do not always agree with the promotion and the hype of some drug companies, the vast majority of researchers including myself would gladly find other lines of work if we could prevent and cure this devastating illness.
Best, David
