It happened both slowly and all of a sudden. Sharp and piercing at first. Then I caught myself thinking - no big deal. For a brief moment I was calmed. That could have been a whole lot worse. Then the throbbing started. No - throbbing is too soft a word. Then the constant pounding started. … Continue reading The Pain Sets In

Suck It Up Buttercup
7:00 am and there I am - Physical Therapy again. The well wishes I’ve received from all of you asking how my shoulder is doing has been, well, overwhelming !!! I’m like Sheldon, working on my sarcasm. While doing my arm bike routine to wake my shoulder up, I had a few thoughts. See, here … Continue reading Suck It Up Buttercup
OK – Nobody panic.
It’s ok. It’s going to be all right. I hear myself saying this – and I know. I know it’s not ok. It is so NOT ok. There is every right to panic. I’ll try and stay calm. STAY CALM. If panic overtakes me – I’m doomed. Doomed I say. DOOMED. NO. NO. NO. NO. … Continue reading OK – Nobody panic.
Go Figure
I can’t figure out women. Like every man on the planet – I’ve tried to figure women out. Can’t do it. You could write a book about the things about women that I don’t know. Of course, the writer would have to be a woman, because (reality check) no other guy really knows enough about … Continue reading Go Figure

My NFL Dislikes
I do like football. High school football, college football and the NFL. I like football. Pee-wee or Pop Warner … I’ve not seen enough of it to have an opinion. But football being football, I’m sure I’d like it. I know enough about it to know what’s going on. Kate and Charlotte watch football when … Continue reading My NFL Dislikes
Another Mystery
I consider myself a smart man. By smart, I mean that when presented with a solvable problem, I can (usually) figure it out. Give me a physics equation, then, odds are - no. But those aren’t solvable to the normal person on the street. With a set of plans, I can build stuff. Or, when … Continue reading Another Mystery
Curses.
Curses to Jeff Goldblum. Or is it curses to Seth Brundle? Either/Or – CURSES !!! It’s all starting to come together and now I need to figure out whether to embrace it or try and stop it. So, you know the story behind the 1986 movie “The Fly”. Seth Brundle, the scientist, created a teleportation … Continue reading Curses.
