    This morning at around 5:00am, one of my cats began the morning ritual of making this odd, almost chirping sound. Not a meow, growl or other typical cat sound but, something that resembles a sick bird. Like he has a sore throat but is trying to meow. He begins to roam around as well. From…

    And Juliet said, “What’s in a name?”  Act II, Scene II – Shakespear, Romeo and Juliet. Supposedly it is to mean that names are conventions and don’t have any inherent meaning or worth. Juliet is saying she is in love with a person, not a name. OK, cool Yet, who does not have a name…

    This should have been published November 23, Thanksgiving day. I slack. Six months ago, 180 days, my heart was not beating. My blood was being diverted through a machine.

    The whole of 2022 I have spent with doctors, nurses, physical therapists, lab technicians and, of course, billing departments. The problem with the back has progressed to the point that surgery is required to make life livable. I’ve heard a million and one horror stories about how surgery made things worse. Having had one successful…

    My life has been an accumulation of many experiences altogether to many of which were physical injuries. A great majority of those were all my fault. From falling into, out of, off of, onto or any combination of those. I have been damaged. For as long as I can recall I have liked to go…
