REALITY?: Personal
Cardiologist pronounces me healthy (cholesterol cut in half, BP 118/68, lungs making happy sounds) and we agree to go off some of the drugs. Chantix for one, with a promise of Wellbutrin if needed–but not for depression, rather nicotine withdrawal–like … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Sometimes, just sometimes…
…you’d like to think you have a handle on things. That all your hard work, dedication, focus and cash money are taking you somewhere. You’d like to believe it works that way. Meanwhile, others speed on by, the hare jumping … Continue reading Continue reading
