A couple days ago, I wrote a little piece about the fact that my family seems to want to get back at me by not ever letting me know the status of my mother when she disappears for weeks or even months at a time. Before I get another swear-word laden email from an...

As a lifelong gypsy, I have moved more times than I can count on my hands and toes. Wait, let me check. No, it seems I can indeed do this, but I have no toes, fingers or thumbs left. Each time I pack up to move somewhere else, whether it’s voluntarily or someone...

It’s well established that I don’t like doctors. For me, they are right up there with horses. It’s not that I don’t respect them or their knowledge (the doctors). Whenever I do something stupid, such as step on a nail, they are always...

I am something of a rarity, I hear. I think I may be the only Boomer who went through the 60s, 70s and 80s who’s never tried drugs. Well, not the illicit or illegal variety that is. That’s not to say I am some holier than thou goody two shoes. I could tell...

A recent scare with my mother set my mind in motion recently. Not to worry, she’s all right. But some day I will get the call that I have been dreading for years and I will have to deal with the fact that she is no longer with us. Thankfully, we’ve already...

As I was sitting here thinking about what to write about today, I thought, Hey, I’ll just make it up as I go along.” And it suddenly it hit me that I think I’ve been doing this all my life. When asked what I do for a living, I always say, “I...
