She Loves to Drive

She knows only one speed, and that’s a speed that you have never come close to because you were afraid to try. She’s fast but never furious; speedy, but sure of herself and calmly confident in her skill. She has no time to waste, but sometimes she does slow down just to enjoy the scenery, yet unfortunately, the problem is that others can’t help but stare at her at the wheel —enjoying the scenery that s Read More

The Trout Whisperer (An Excerpt From My Upcoming Thriller: Blue Shadows)

Getty Images. He was always on time for group therapy, promptly at nine am although even though he thought therapy was generally a waste of time, he went so that he could keep his career.  Why listen to other people’s problems?  He knew what this was – nightmares and headaches, but more importantly…(had to leave this blank)             Read More

The Sleep Movement: Do as We Say or WOKE Up

Certainly, there have been and will continue to be many movements in our history.  For example, symphony movements, The Feminist Movement, Animal Rights Movement and of course the mandatory cleansing bowel movement. But here is what you need to know: You all need to WOKE up, rather, I mean wake up to the The Sleep Movement. Sleep is very important to our health and livelihood.

Her Mind Excites Me

 She has such a warm and inviting voice, never judgmental or condescending but always producing gentle waves of calm deep within my masculine soul.  That was the impression I received the first time I heard her voice and each time I heard it, I yearned to listen to her more, not just for the intellect and knowledge that she shared with me so generously, but for the stimulation she brought to my hungry br Read More

Bad Asses and Gentleman

Bad Asses and Gentleman I suppose you can be a bad ass, a pompous ass, or a gentleman, but can you really be all three?  Or maybe if anyone calls you an ass, especially preceded by an adjective, you cannot also be a gentleman or especially not a real gentleman. Some of the other commonly used adjectives that are used in front of the word ass also include stupid, dumb, smart, lazy, fat, ugly and perh Read More

Bone Bruises, Sixth Grade Teachers and Patty

It was in sixth grade.  I’m sure of it. Mostly because I was in competition with a girl name Patty S, a tall blonde dream girl who always tried to beat me finishing tests.  She smiled at me even when I beat her, which wasn’t often, but oh my, when such a beauty smiled at me it made it all worthwhile.  But then, she probably never frowned that I could remember.  And she was a fast runner Read More

Death By Bundt

She gave it to me for Christmas. That was a very nice thought, for sure, but then, it’s one of those gifts that although superb for some, left me wondering how I would handle it, respectfully of course, because after all, it was a gift that was very thoughtful. It was covered in a see – through plastic container, but the container, unfortunately, was not odor – proof.  And that odor permeated th Read More

The Astral Bus

               I took about a year of my rare free time, while still practicing medicine, and did some research on various topics for my new novel. I figured if a former Special Ops doctor told me to do this before beginning my book, maybe it was worth the time. He knew that I knew close to nothing about his field. Not only that, he was dangerous and he probably knows where I live. Now I Read More
