    I borrowed that title from a film I was background in many many years ago. It, the title, came rushing back into my head last night in a flurry of phone calls, door knocks and emails. I am still, ten hours later, laughing. I may hurt a feeling or two here but will try not…

    Where is my soul? What is my soul? How did it become attached to food and music? Why do so many have so many views and descriptions for it? Here’s the deal. This is a turbulent time in my life. (News? I think not.) On suggestion I have been reading, along with a few other…

    …, like most things, it could be worse. My news today was not good. It was however, the better of the bad news it might have been. I do have macular degeneration. I have the common ‘dry’ kind that effects a large portion of population. This I see as good news since it means there…

    May 4th. The day before the more American than Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo. A short milestone for me. Eleven months sober. Or, more exactly, eleven months of not drinking. I made a point of the difference some time ago. One is working to make yourself a better person while not using. The other…

    If this place was a home for sale in the current slumping real estate market, I would say, “Attractive, soothing water feature”. If normal no smoke in the butt description was appropriate, I would call it a fountain. If this place was on wheels, “It’s a whiskey barrel with plastic and a pump! So what?…

    Let me start by saying, I am completely amused with that title. MENTAL HEALTH! In another life time, in another world I met a psychiatrist, at roughly 4;30pm on a Sunday. I was attached to a table, unable to move much of anything and in an act of defiance, I didn’t move the parts I…

    There are certain things I expect when I go to the doctors office, depending on the doctors specialty. When I go to the dentist I expect some anxiety, fear, discomfort and pain. I also expect to laugh at the stereotypical question when my mouth is full of tools and fingers. When I go to the…

    OK – it has come to my attention that my angry, self-destructive, pointed and vague venting on this site concerns a person or two. I do not think it should so much but, I guess if I knew how to think proper I would not be rambling on in support or preemptive euthanasia. So, I…

    OK – part of my de-funk, kick the depression suggestion was too exercise. Activity that might result in sweat or elevated heart rate. I am not motivated to feed my self much less get up and DO something. Really. One of the best parts of having gotten into massage school is that, the particular school…

    I used to love that phrase. Taken from a play I do not recall anything else about. I still like to say it. It occurred to me earlier today that this relentless pain and unhappiness I am feeling the past few weeks is never going to go away. It will simply become more and more…
