  • GETTING READY FOR MY COLONOSCOPY: and seeing the humor in it

    Dave Barry’s Colonoscopy Journal has one of the funniest takes on this serious subject I’ve ever read; and since I’m going in for my third one in 9 years in just a few days, I thought I’d better review it.Youngest daughter reminded me I’d sent it to her a few years ago.

I wonder how many people would survive a disaster like the 1930's depression, a disaster like an eruption of the Yellowstone super volcan…

  • cats do not abide by the laws of nature

    01. Liking a boy was just the same as believing you wanted to know a secret - everything was better when you were denied and could feel tormented by curiosity or loneliness. But the moment of something happening was treacherous. It was just so tiring to have to worry about whether your face wa…
