M. Frank Lyons, II, M.D. retires to The Lyons Lifestyle
Last Sunday I consumed a 4-liter jug of GoLYTELY, 8 ounces at a time, every ten minutes, until I had finished it, in preparation for a long overdue colonoscopy and upper endoscopy early on Monday morning in Tacoma. The procedures had been scheduled/canceled/rescheduled and postponed several times due to COVID-19 in Seattle at Virginia Mason. […]
Letter: Just Passing Through
They had met on the train. He was a handsome soldier on reassignment just passing through. “May I sit here?” he had asked. And so it began.

Westside Story – Not 1 Reason
I have written around a dozen articles related to our current political race between Cyndie Fajardo and Ed Troyer for the position of Pierce County Sheriff. I have included many reasons related to experience, education, leadership, and training that support voting for the most qualified candidate, Lieutenant Cyndie Fajardo.
