You would think that almost two weeks off would leave one rested… not downing coffee like it’s water 🤣

A very, very Merry Christmas from my family’s home to yours. May you find peace and joy this holiday, however you can 🎄✨

I know I’ve been quiet on here lately. Dealing with a little bit of social media fatigue. Working my way back, slowly!

Dr. Marie McDonnell, the Director of the Diabetes Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, breaks down what insulin is, why it's so imperative that diabetics have it, what's causing the price to rise so high, and what patients can do to get the medicine they need.

I'm on a #WhaleWatch today, kind of - we're keeping an eye on a developing story on #CapeCod, in #Eastham. That's where five pilot whales stranded themselves at Sunken Meadow Beach; another whale, a baby, died.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare is on the scene, helping to get these animals back in the water. High tide is in right now, and at last check, the whales were all in the water, but IFAW's working to get them swimming again. 📸: IFAW

Today's the 80th anniversary of the Cocoanut Grove nightclub #fire in #Boston. The club, in what's now known as Bay Village, was packed at more than twice the legal capacity when the fire swept through, killing 492 people that night in 1942.

The fire started in the basement, and as the crowds tried to get out, they became trapped behind jammed and locked doors. Today, @wutrain and others are speaking at a memorial service on Piedmont Street, near the site of the disaster.
