A study conducted by scientists at Stony Brook University and reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, showed that mice who sat on a vibrating platform reduced their body fat by 27% versus the mice who sat on a stationary platform.

The researchers speculate that the vibrations inhibited the formation of fat cells from stem cells. The researchers also believe their work could lead to a non-strenuous, drug-free method for control of obesity.

I’m all for that.

Remember the good old days when summer meant having unlimited free time to create adventures in the back yard? I grew up thinking a sunburn was normal, peanut butter sandwiches were best eaten after digging earthworms (for an earthworm circus) and never having heard the term stranger danger.

Even as a youngster I was aware that summer was passing too fast, that school was just around the corner and my life, as it was meant to be lived, would end with that first bell.

If I had my way I’d keep all my children home until they were at least 12 years old and just let them be kids.

Creativity and imagination, the kind born at the edge of a mud puddle, dies quickly in the school classroom.

How does one mourn that?
