Book Review: Be Heart Smart: Understand, Treat, and Prevent Coronary Heart Disease by Dr. Waqar Khan ISBN: 9781732268609




We have been sent several books related to medical practices, diet, exercise, and several books related to heart health. If you just look around a little bit, you will find several.


Many of these books we have read are written by doctors who only want to brag about their credentials and tell us about all the brilliant things they have done in their practices to miracuously save a life.

Many of the doctors who write books now a days have only one tool in their toolbox.  Usually that tools is a drug that they helped develop.

Some doctors use most of their book to promote their practice and some unique method that you can only get from their practice.  Those books will tell readers countless times how to contact their practice.

Dr. Kahn is different.  He tells us about multiple ways we can prevent or treat Coronary Heart Disease.  Some of the treatments are surgical and the doctor describes them in layman’s terms so that almost anyone can understand what will take place.

Unlike many doctors, Dr. Kahn doesn’t have an ax to grind or a particular procedure to promote.  Instead, he tells us about diet, exercise, stress reduction and other simple things we can do to prevent or treat heart problems.

This book is very informative and does not come across as self-promoting like so many others we have read.  

Face it, you or someone you love will need to have heart-related services sometime in their future.  Grab a copy of Be Heart Smart now while you can read it and absorb it, and maybe help prevent a heart issue.

Crude Blessings by T.M. "Roe" Patterson Review ISBN: 978-0-9980213-0-0



In the book Crude Blessings by T.M. "Roe" Patterson, readers are treated to a fascinating look into the life of two true Texans. We challenge you to read it without shedding a single tear.

This book makes for great entertainment, but it also provides a look at some truly great business minds.  

It can be exhilarating to be on the front lines of a startup business.  There is a special excitement when failure is not an option. This book puts readers on the front line to see how honesty and integrity can overcome a world of obstacles.

This makes an absolutely wonderful book with tons of life lessons.  

The sad part in all of this is that, according to several of the other books we have reviewed recently, such as The Aging Brain  and Unsafe at Any Meal , Alzheimer’s disease, Autism, ADD/ADHD and other brain related problems can be avoided. It appears that there is anecdotal evidence to support the notion that high fructose corn syrup and mercury in our diets cause these brain conditions.

We give Crude Blessings all five stars.  We simply cannot believe that this is this author’s first book.  Very few could write this well and tell a story this fascinating the first time out of the chute.

Purge on the Potomac by David Thomas Roberts ISBN: 978-0998770499


As most of our blog readers know, we don’t normally read fiction.  It is very difficult to review fiction because you don’t want to give away any secrets that might spoil the book.  

On the rare occasion that we do read fiction, it is difficult to find any fiction book in keeping with our Christian values.  Too often we find books that are really cheesy romance novels, with a very little bit of plot mixed in between the raunchy sex scenes.

Purge on the Potomac (The Patriot Series) by David Thomas Roberts is different.  It is a very exciting and, at times, funny book about the very real threats we all face since many of our elected officials, at all levels, think we serve at their pleasure rather than the other way around.

It does use the Lord’s name as a curse twice, once on page 192 and again on page 316 of the paperback edition we were given as an advanced media copy for review. This explains why our star rating is not all five stars. Our review policy states up front not to send us any books with the Lord’s name used in vain.

Other than that, this book is the most exciting and interesting fiction book David has ever read.  It takes place here in the State of Texas. What is really interesting to us is that the author, David Thomas Roberts, has a scene take place on a ranch in Shiner, Texas.  Mr Roberts may be aware that there is just such a ranch, owned by the Roberts family, that resembles his description in Shiner, Texas. We know the Roberts that purchased said property is David’s maternal grandpa, Leon Wallis Roberts. He is buried in the Shiner cemetery.

The author does an outstanding job of capturing the sentiment that is held by most Texans regarding the second amendment and interference in The Great State of Texas. It is not a question of IF Texas will secede, but when.

Purge on the Potomac is the kind of book you just can’t put down.  It is very exciting right up to the last page where you have to sit back and say, “Wow”.

The Town That Saved Itself

The Town That Saved Itself

#TivoliStrong  Chances are you have never heard of Tivoli, Texas.  One of the on-air personalities for The Weather Channel continued to report that Hurricane Harvey was making landfall in an “Uninhabited” part of Texas.  That could not be more wrong.

As you know, the little town of Rockport, Texas was 100% lost.  Relief poured into Rockport almost immediately.  However, just up the road sits Tivoli.  We have to pass through this quaint little town on our way to Texas A&M Corpus Christi on the rare times we are able to afford to travel from our home in Wharton, Texas, to visit our youngest daughter.

Tivoli is the home of our favorite Dairy Queen restaurant on the planet.  That is saying a lot.  We almost always stop by this DQ on our way either to visit Maggie or on our way back.  Even though we only get there about once or twice a year, because we cannot afford the trip more often than that, when we walk in this restaurant it is like Norm walking into Cheers.  They don’t know our names, and we don’t know theirs, but they treat us like family.

One time when we stopped in, the song Raining Men came on the sound system and the employees, along with our daughter, sang this song together like they were old friends.  You will never meet a stranger in Tivoli, even if you have never been there.

But Tivoli was left to fend for itself after the storm.  Relief efforts started in Rockport.  When word came that Houston had been flooded, most of the relief effort passed through this little town and did not even slow down.

Can you believe it, even the H. E. B. Supermarket relief squad passed through this town?

Tivoli lost everything, the Volunteer Fire Department is demolished.  Many homes were wiped out and most sustained some type of damage.  But, NO help came. The town worked together to save itself.  

If you want to help a group of people who really need it, send your money to the town of Tivoli, Texas.  

Tivoli Volunteer Fire Department
1 Crockett St
Tivoli, Texas, 77990
Phone: 361-526-1936

Houston Eye Associates Service Review

Today, 30 March 2017 my wife had an appointment at HoustonEye Associates in Sugar Land, Texas.

All I can say is, “WOW!”  

My wife was very nervous because she has very sensitive eyes.  She is almost completely blind in one eye.  She is very concerned about the other eye.  So saying she was near panic would not be an exaggeration at all.

The front desk staff was very professional and courteous.  We left home early because it would be rush hour and there is a great deal of construction along the freeway.  We were not delayed as much as we had anticipated, so we arrived nearly an hour early.

No one at the office batted an eye at us being so early.  They just checked us in and got started on the paperwork. 

Before we got sat down good, Christopher called us back to conduct the initial evaluation.  It did not seem to matter that we had not had time to complete the new patient paperwork. He entered the information from the new patient paperwork and then proceeded to the evaluation.

Christopher was very calming and reassuring.  He bragged on the doctor and told us about the good hands we were in.

During the initial evaluation, Christopher dilated my wife’s eyes.  He then walked us back to the waiting room so that they could tend to other patients while her eyes were becoming dilated.

It was not long at all before we were asked back to an examination room.  Very shortly after that, Dr. Dhir (pronounced deer) entered the room.  Dr. Dhir is exactly the kind of doctor anyone would want.

He was very calming.  He did not laugh at our concerns over the possible surgery.  He took the time to describe in detail what was taking place in my wife’s condition.  He even used a model eye to illustrate his point.

He is not like many doctors who talk down to his patients.  Dr. Dhir treated us like friends and not like just another face in the crowd.


We recommend Houston Eye Associates whole-heartedly.  The staff is wonderful and caring.  They were very accommodating of our health concerns.  We think anyone will be happy with Houston Eye Associates.
