Ok, ok, I apologize, I’ve been away for a couple of weeks, due to both illness and overwork, but this week, I’m back with a brand new Healthy Living Tip! Sadly, it comes in conjunction this week with the loss of a legend. Aretha Franklin was, simply, the greatest female voice who ever lilted a note. No need to repeat what the world already knows, in the interest of time. She will certainly be missed.…
