The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

If you’re in Denver Metro, Tattered Cover just announced that all used books are now $1 at Colfax, Aspen Grove, and Stanley Marketplace. I think this is ultimately bad news (probably due to the Barnes & Noble sale), but if you’re near one of the stores, now would be a good time to go look.
