This happened probably 15 to 20 years ago. An average night during the wee hours. For whatever reason, I was awake, rolling over, worrying about something stupid, trying to get comfortable when I heard… something.  Downstairs. NOW I was awake. I didn’t know what the sound was, couldn’t make it out. It might have beenContinue reading “A sound in the night”

Winky the giraffe was ambling around the plains, enjoying a lovely day. His left eye occasionally exhibiting evidence of the nervous twitch which is part of his condition, and is really the driving force of this story. That, and his itch.

You might see a number of these entries inserted into the mix, as when my body’s finally settled, and the wracking, debilitating, near vomit inducing cough from hell as quieted, I can at least type. I’m writing this on Thursday, November 12th. If nothing else, I hope this educates, especially those who think this isContinue reading “To quote Bruce Banner- “Well, this is all just horrible.””

Linda Louise Potts was born into this world to Joe and Sylvia, joining siblings Mike and Karen (Brian came later). She was often referred to as The Happy Child. She was a bit of a tomboy and she had a cat named Peanut Butter who acted more like a dog, yet ironically, she was neverContinue reading “For the birthday girl”
