I got two hours of sleep last night, and, as you can imagine, nothing feels good this morning. It’s hard to catch me in a bad mood, but I might have been on my way except I had something small for breakfast, I took my medicine,...

Amber It’s been in the news here lately how many people under 35 have been diagnosed with colon cancer. Colonoscopies aren’t even recommended in the U.S. until age 45, but young people are getting it left and right. And I’m talking healthy, fit people. It makes no...
