Ruminations

Ruminations is mainly about the intersection of three things that interest me: being healthy, politics, and the necessity of letting go. From time to time, I'll write about other things that catch my fancy.

About Me

Ray Bepko: Utica, NY, United States; A little about me: I’m 64. In 2011 I had cancer and cardiac scares within the same month. Neither turned out to be true. The experience did convince me of one thing. I did not, under any circumstances, want to be caught up in the jaws of the medical-industrial machine. That cannot always be avoided but sometimes it can. It certainly can be delayed. To do that, I needed to be healthy, not just disease free, healthy. I want to use the blog to share my own ups and downs (sometimes literally) as I strive to become as healthy as I can. I’ll write about health care, politics, cooking, and related cultural, social, and political issues.
