Come next month, I’ll have not seen a patient for 5 years. But those questions coming in from friends and relatives can still jog this old medical brain. A couple weeks back, Ron, who’s a distant cousin, good friend, and husband of much missed Barb (1), a nurse who used to field most of his medical queries,Continue reading “stroke: room for improvement?”

Robbie!
For my 72nd birthday, my sweetie pointed the Jeep east to head for Lake Orion, an hour and a half drive from here. This town, in the far north ‘burbs of Dee-troit, near Pontiac, is pocked by many little lakes that many live around. They’re nice lakes, too. Bob Seger lives less than 20 miles from the Lake OrionContinue reading “Robbie!”
curry fish!
Too hot? Tempted for take-out again? Michigan’s Gretch shut down everything 5 years ago and we’re still adjusting.. So much no touch you couldn’t tell what’s touch into what. Keep Mr. Corona away! With it, the cornocopua of take-out offers variety that maybe ol’ home cookin’ doesn’t. That same March was when ordered begain to change starting from March—May 2020, inContinue reading “curry fish!”
Firefly
Here ya go folks. Plop this in and play it (or at least click on the links)(1)*. It’ll make you happy and I sense we all need more of that kind of thing.

“peas and news”
The beauties of fresh live things coming together in the farmers markes. Include brand new things just waiting for each other. Those potatoes just barely out of the box(“new potatoes”) whereas peas from the pod are also “new”. Awaiting is a nice fish, available from the freezer at the market. And voila, we got “peas and newContinue reading ““peas and news””

my old man … a better tear
my old man … a better tear I’ve written about my late fathers so much I thought this year I’d let others carry the emotional ball. Leave it to the fat guy, Matt Watroba of Folks Like Us as he got into the sentimental stuff. And boy, there’s a lot. But nobody pulls those heartContinue reading “my old man … a better tear”
Moms
I face this Mothers’ Day as a full blown orphan for the first time in 15 years. It’s a situation I thought I’d be facing for the rest of my life after May 17, 1963 the day I found my mom stretched out and dead on the couch when I came home for lunch. MyContinue reading “Moms”
