The link between your energy levels, space dust, comets and PQQ

At 75 years of age, I am 10 years past the 65-year-old elderly gateway. But I don't feel it. I honestly don't. One of my major battles is to not lose ground on energy levels, and trying to avoid dementia. So far - so good.

This may sound like an advertisement, but I assure you, it's not. When pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) became available via the Life Extension Foundation, i did a large amount of research on my own and liked the idea of boosting energy at the cellular level. I eventually bought in to the concept and have been taking PQQ for years.


Part of the reason I write about the Boston Celtics and many other subjects is to maintain brain function at least at a reasonable level, in effect keeping the neurons working properly. And now learning about the connection between PQQ, space dust, comets and the beginnings of life only enhances my inquisitiveness - the thing that separates the young from the old.

The entire LEF article is worth reading, but for those that don't, I offer the following via the piece:

FROM SPACE DUST
PQQ is synthesized in some of the Earth’s simplest and oldest organisms, such as soil bacteria. That has led scientists to believe it may be central to the very formation and existence of life on this planet.

This viewpoint is supported by fascinating findings from outer space. Researchers recently analyzed the chemical makeup of dust from a comet’s tail. They found evidence that PQQ is contained in this material.

This startling discovery has led to speculation that the Earth may have been seeded with PQQ from space, contributing to the development of early life.

You can accept or discard these ideas, but I personally find it fascinating. Who knew?

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

  Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my   family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...

Wemby versus Kareem as rookies

 We already know that the Spurs Victor Wembanyama is going to be an NBA phenomenon, but will he surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by the end of his career. It is highly likely.  I did a "per-36-minutes" comparison between the two stars, mainly because Kareem logged 43.1 MPG in his rookie campaign - while Wemby has been held to only 29.4 MPG. Kareem: 24.1 PPG - 12.1 RPG - 3.4 APG - .518 FG - .653 FT Wemby:  25.9 PPG - 12.9 RPG - 4.5 APG - .463 FG - .796 FT No blocks, steals or 3-pointers were looked at since they were not tracked in Jabbar's first year in the NBA. It should also be noted that Kareem was 22 years old at the time, while Victor started at age 20. Two factors favoring Wembanyama ultimately surpassing Jabbar on any "Best-of-All-Time" charts are his point guard skills , shared by so many European players.  and the fact he is being mentored by Gregg Popovich. His potential seems astounding. But the question remains. Can he garner six Titles and six MVP ...
