I was recently, at midnight, watching a stand-up comedy special to try to help me sleep. I specifically was watching John Mulvaney’s latest stand-up special. The one after his rehab stint. It was funny. It was self-deprecating. It was timely. I think, in many ways, there are a […]
I’m boatding a flight right now, feeling complete anxiety. I hate flying. Really hate it. Live traveling. I pray everyday for teleportation. But the flying is not part of my anxiety. Today, the word is inconclusive. When you have been sick for a few months and lab results […]
I absolutely hate flying. I would far prefer teleportation. Of course, we’re not there yet. Or are we? This weekend, I flew out to Seattle from New York. The security lines were over an hour long. Luckily, I had my shortcut options. Still, the line was atrocious. I […]
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite? As Madonna noted many decades ago: “If we took a holidayTook some time to celebrateJust one day out of lifeIt would be, it would be so nice.” It sure would. For the first time in three years, I […]
Every year, I come up with a word in December to capture the new upcoming year. Some years, my word is spot on. Other years, not so much. For this current year, the word I had selected back in December was “adventurer.” Then life deflated my adventure ballon. […]

The month of may is almost here, and usually, I’m very excited about this upcoming month. As the month of May is my birthday month. But it’s been a tough year thus far. There’s thunder and lightning today, and the day is dreary. Tomorrow promises no less dreariness. […]
What topics do you like to discuss? My birthday is coming up in a few days. I love my birthday month. However, the last year was quite horrid and sad. I’ve come to lower my expectations. Although I am keeping one of my expectations that it will rain. […]
I have two dogs. They are complete polar opposites of one another. One’s small, the other large. One’s gray, the other black. One is a goofball, and the other is feisty. They both love to snuggle and are very endearing. The problem we have is that our yard […]
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. A few years ago, a primary care provider noted I’m high in sensation-seeking. I don’t like rollercoasters. Don’t care too much for ziplining. I’m not keen on parachuting out of an airplane. But maybe one day. However, I […]
