Hypertensive No More!

Back in 2013 a chance encounter with a sphygmomanometer led to me discovering I was hypertensive.

Freakonomics

Just a quick post to let you know about the Freakonomics podcasts.  They are on iTunes but for those who aren't on Apple (it's not 'paleo'*), you can get the mp3s here.
