Meandering With Myrn - Episode 2: Clinton, Obama, the Dogs, and Me

I continue to master the technological aspects of podcasting with more or less success. But a report on Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton’s historic unifying visit to my little town of Unity, NH last week seemed like something that would cause people to overlook my electronic limitations, so enthralled would they be in the story [...]

Animal Talk Naturally Show Available for Downloading

Below are links to the show I did with Drs Kim Bloomer and Jeannie Thomason on June 17th about human emotions as they affect animal health and behavior. But as always happens with these two great folks, the conversation strayed to other areas, too.

Firefly Love

It’s that time of year again in New England when the fireflies flash their distinctive calls as they court members of their own kind.

Fat Cats and Top Dogs: Animal Behavior and the Business World
Recently Walter Brandes of To the Tipping Point, a New Hampshire business consulting practice contacted me for permission to use that business name because I’d already claimed TippingPoint Inc. I agreed and then he and I had a delightful chat about the role of tipping [...]


Late Night Adventures with Animals and Fans

It’s been extremely hot and humid, the kind of heat and humidity that has me leaving key pieces of clothing at strategic locations so I can grab them and [...]


BeeBee and Baby

The Baby in this post is my 2-year-old granddaughter, but for alliterative purposes, I co-opted the name her cousin Lauren calls her, Baby Geneva.
