What worked? What hasn’t worked? These are different questions than “What do you want to work?” Thinking something should work is not answering the basic question: What worked? We all know George Bailey. We all have that wonderful life and especially at the end of the year, as we look forward, we take stock. At [...]

The week ends, the month ends and now the year also ends. What a truly amazing year! A rollercoaster of a ride, filled with terror and thrills, literally and metaphorically. I face a medical scare (mostly a consequence of being a physician and simply knowing too much…and letting my imagination get away from me.) I [...] This is the quilt I made for my sister, Chrissy. She loves batiks. This is the Christmas quilt I made for my friend Ann. She moved away from her long time home in California to be closer to family in Texas. I wanted her to have something soft and fresh for [...] On the day after Christmas, worthy topics include thankfulness or gratitude or an acknowledgement of blessings. Instead, I have a phrase stuck in my craw. He said, “…you want things on your own terms.” Now, that ‘s a loaded phrase if ever I heard one. For one who wishes to be understood, there is a [...]
Merry Christmas to everyone. May your day be filled with squealing children, yummy food, clinking glasses filled with cocktails or mugs filled with warm mulled cider or hot cocoa. Enjoy your football and old movies. Don’t let the “some assembly required” frustrate you too badly. Build a fire (or in [...] It’s Friday. It’s the Friday before Christmas. In about 90 minutes, full schedule of patients awaits me at the office and it looks to be quite busy. I don’t feel I am ready for Christmas but I am likely plenty ready. Once my work day is over, my Christmas vacation starts. Vacation is an oxymoron [...] Is waiting a uniquely human behavior? I suppose nomadic animals in herds wait. Or do they? I conjecture that when the herd moves on you either get with the pack or get picked off by the predators. Nothing in the wild waits but maybe the solitary predator. He waits for opportunity to hunt and kill [...] It’s Wednesday and here are the facts as I see ‘em: I have been painting my own finger and toe nails since I was in junior high. While I like the pampering that comes with a spa manicure and pedicure, I am increasingly grossed out by the idea that the brushes inside those polish pots [...] I went to undergraduate school in Washington, DC at American University. Because of family circumstances, I transferred and graduated from the University of Miami. I had an academic scholarship to AU and transferred out of there after the end of the fall semester 12 credits shy of my bachelor’s degree in biology. The University of [...] Oh, I wish this weekend would continue minus being on call. I have no great motivation, no project, no list of endeavors. I like my work well enough….I am just more interested in being leisurely. That means dawdling and diddling and doing not much of anything. I was quite unfocused this weekend. I could have [...] |
