I’ve mentioned how I was allergic to virtually everything when I was little. Including my sweat. But even though I was allergic to aContinue reading “The Boy in the Air Conditioned Bubble”

We’re already headed into June. I can’t believe how fast this year is going. Work is quiet. Days blend together.  Starting to feel like this should be a “do over” year.  Did… did we just do it over? Just now? Couldn’t tell. Went too fast.  Going in for a routine CT scan today, and regularContinue reading “The Lost Year”

While Duolingo is a pretty cool, FREE app for learning languages, having finished my first month (34 consecutive days), I have some observations, notes, etc. The cartoon mascot of the app is a little owl named Duo.

The tree wasn’t that large but when she reached her whole arm in, and couldn’t feel where the back wall of the tree should be, she knew the hole led somewhere else andContinue reading “Surely I’ve told you about My Hole?”

It was around September of 1973. I was in Michigan with my mom as we often were during Labor Day weekend, visiting my cousins. We’d visit and half the weekend was dedicated to watching the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy telethon. There’s a strange, morbid curiosity involved in watching a man put himself through the grinder,Continue reading “Superfriends: the Exasperation of disappointment of youth”

26 years ago, Theresa Renee Lundeen slid into the world, possibly because she thought there was a party out here. I understood her confusion. Being first time parents, we were trying to go for a mood and were playing Bob Marley in the birthing room.  She resembled Tweety Bird for quite some time when sheContinue reading “The First Born”
