Philosophy,
Religion I learned an important lesson from a room-mate nearly fifteen years ago, and some recent events have brought it to mind again. The lesson is about blessing and being blessed. In the mid-90s, I was working in the Chicago metropolitan area. The majority of the staff lived in company-owned housing, in an arrangement similar to [...]

Family Life,
True Stories I think I have finally figured out what is wrong with my left wrist. I mentioned in a couple of previous posts that I have a long-standing injury that periodically flares up and gives me merry hell for a few days or weeks, and then subsides. I thought it was a sprain from a fall I [...]

Family Life Funny how things can roll along okay, and then suddenly, BAM!, something gets you and knocks you flat. I’m profoundly sad tonight. Not sure why, really. There have been some minor disappointments and worries over the last few days, but nothing worth getting really down over. I’ve just finished moving all my archived e-mails from [...]

Family Life,
True Stories I’m getting ready to close down my old blog, because I like having my own site, where people can find me without having to pay. If you want to pay, I’m not going to object, and you can just Paypal me (LOL), but I’m tired of the limited readership on the old blog and see [...]

Family Life,
True Stories,
Work Life I am weird. Everyone who knows me, even on a slight basis, knows this. But my weirdness isn’t just that I dress funny and use words no one else ever heard of, and both read and proofread everything I see. My best talent is getting hurt. Only I never get hurt normally. You know, most [...]

Family Life I had my second follow-up visit with my foot surgeon this morning, and, much to my relief, he told me that I could take off “the boot” and start wearing tennis shoes. HOORAY! The boot does a great job of protecting the foot, but it makes you walk funny because the sole does NOT bend. [...]

Family Life Well, this has been an odd few days. I went in for surgery on Friday morning, and went home that afternoon. I was put to bed, and I didn’t really wake up again until Sunday afternoon. I was only sort of awake on Sunday and Monday, and I used up the last of the painkillers [...]

Family Life I don’t really know what to write. Tomorrow is the foot surgery. Nervous … yeah. I don’t like general anaesthesia. I don’t like not knowing what’s going on around me, and I don’t like being out of control. Ugh. Relieved … yeah. The pain has been pretty bad the last few days, so it’s nice [...]

Family Life,
True Stories I have to have surgery. The toe that I thought I had broken isn’t. Here’s what happened when I went to the doctor about it. My right great toe has been painful for about 18 months, and I was pretty much trying to ignore the pain because I thought it was either arthritis, gout, or [...]
