I suppose it’s a little late to think about joining the U.S. Navy. To turn a phrase, I missed the boat long ago. But an afternoon at a Navy function last weekend made me think how different life could have been if I had signed my name on an application form at a recruiting station and passed the rigorous physical.

Train cat to stop acting like an alarm clock
Dear Dr. Thompson: We have a 3-year-old cat who has always been a quiet, laid-back fellow. In recent months he has turned into a rooster (or thinks he is.) Every morning at 5 a.m. he gets on the bed and hits us with his paw or sits on the floor next to the bed and meows until we get up. We try to ignore him, but he will not give up.
