I wrote this post for Friday the 13th a couple of years ago, but it applies still.
PERSONAL NOTE: It is exactly 27 years ago today that I cleaned out my desk at Reuters and quit after working there for 20 years. I won’t go into the whys, they are no longer relevant. However, I have not looked back and ever regretted it. I wrote freelance for a while, then taught journalism at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and finally migrated over to the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur foundation where I wrote a newsletter in the Investment Department for five years and then was promoted to Bond Manager where I managed $900 million for the next five years. I retired from there in October of 2000.
I have been writing this blog since March of 2010.

Anti-cancer Brazil nuts come in third. “This hearty tree nut is a ‘trigger food’ that may cause cancer cells to self-destruct…
