One could make an argument for it, certainly. But, truth be told, I’m not that much of a car fanatic.
You know how some people are extremely knowledgeable about what brand/make/model is the “best”? (Exhibit A: my brother-in-law)

By Colleen Boyle, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
During the early 20th century Rene Lalique created artistic glass car ornaments that adorned the most expensive cars of the period.

Why is dental care so expensive?
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
I get asked that question often, and to be honest, I understand why patients feel that way. When a friend of mine, a savvy businessman learned about the business of dentistry he was actually surprised it didn’t cost more! He suggested that I share the hidden side of modern dental care.
The personal touch matters
A monogram can make something more than special: it can make it yours
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com

And, most importantly, if...

Have you heard of Malcom Gladwell’s book, “Outliers-The Story of Success”?
Well, the basic premise is that to become truly successful at any given task, one must commit to 10,000 HOURS of practice.

The art of layering
Sometimes more is, well, more
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
It would be relevant and timely to do some sort of “football fashion” etiquette for this week.
However, I find it difficult to concentrate on the Super Bowl for longer than Madonna’s half time show. In fact, I enjoy watching the commercials more than anything else. (Confident that I am not alone on this one)
SO,...

As a dentist, I am obsessive about oral hygiene, as a mom I fight the same fight as everyone else I know. My kids are just like yours. I’m sure my son isn’t the only kid to swear up and down he brushed his teeth but somehow the toothbrush is still dry. Really?
