Yesterday, I met with a friend that I had not spoken to because of an argument. He had told me over a year ago that he was sorry, but I was not ready to hear it. I probably “accepted” his apology at the time. But my hope was that I would [...]

So I am doing something you are not supposed to do. I stopped my happy pills.
At first it was a mistake. I fill those little pill boxes, for each day of the week. I was 4 pills short last week. So I put in the 3 I had and ordered a refill. The refill came [...]

So the past couple of nights, I have been watching the history channel. They have had a cheesy documentary on the Seven Deadly Sins. I found it all very interesting until they did the show on Sloth. Then I started feeling a little uncomfortable.
Now I have always thought of sloth as being lazy, not doing [...]

I have no profound insights. Our Thanksgiving was OK. We have no family in the area, so it was just the three of us. We went to Clyde’s for lunch and saw the movie Madagascar 2.
Today we are having dinner with our friends. We will likely play Canasta late into the night.
About me: I am [...]

Today was supposed to be our biannual visit to the spina bifida. But as “luck” would have it, Ethan had a stomach virus and could not go. Awe…shucks, I so look forward to going into DC to get bad news. Now I could have gone into work. But I already had the day off and [...]

Well today was the big day. Today we started cathing. Like many unpleasant things in life, the dread of the thing was worse than the thing itself. One thing became abundantly clear as we began, we are extremely lucky. Because Ethan is older, we were able to reason/bribe him. While he does not “like” the [...]

On a whim, I bought tickets to the National Symphony Orchestra. We needed something to break the cloud of sadness that currently surrounds our house. I really wish when they told us that we needed to begin cathing, that we just would have started right then. The dread almost seems worse than the task itself. [...]

So I am in an angry troll kind of mood.
Ethan had his second urodynamics test today, but I could not go because we had an emergency at work (it is 7:15pm as I write this…I am still at work…waiting for customer confirmation). The Urodynamics test is by far the most invasive test ever conceived of [...]

I want noodle salad. Watch the clip and you will understand.
At my old church, I attended a Men’s retreat. We were in small groups and the leader asked everyone to share the greatest moment of their lives. Without exception, all of them said, the birth of their child. That my friend [...]

I am sitting in the computer room overlooking the park, watching the kids come and go. Today was a long day. Ethan had an upper GI test (x-ray with dye in his stomach). The test was at 8:30. I expected to get out by 10:30, take Ethan to lunch, and then have some me time [...]
