Tive vontade de escrever algo a propósito, e fui reler um texto que escrevi para a cerimônia de nossas Bodas de Ouro, celebrada em 09 de julho de 2007, por nosso amigo, Diácono, Profe... mais »
Fast Time
Fast Time and the Aging Mind Gwendal Le Bec By RICHARD A. FRIEDMANPublished: July 20, 2013AH, the languorous days of endless summer! Who among us doesn’t remember those days and wonder wistfully where they’ve gone? Why does time seem to speed up as we age? Even the summer solstice — the longest, sunniest day of the year — seems to have passed in a flash.

Mais Médicos...
De Maria Inês Reinert Azambuja
Ontem mandei este texto para a Zero Hora e a Folha... Não tenho muita expectativa de que publiquem, pois trata de interesses de seus anunciantes e financiadores... Se publicarem, pode ser um vespeiro... Sei que estou contra a corrente (mais uma vez...)...

Mais barato que o no...mais »
