Hurricane Honey

I had just finished my second year of residency, so I decided to take a trip to New Orleans to the Chest/Thoracic surgery national conference.  The University paid for registration at the meeting and the hotel, and my friend who was a flea – otherwise known as an Internal Medicine resident, went with me. We went to separate conference lectures and presentations, and gathering tickets for free dinners from dr Read More

Name My Plant

Never was very good with green living things that grow in the dirt and require water, fertilizer, pruning and weeding and such. In fact most things I plant in the ground die or barely flourish out of my neglect mostly. However, one plant my mother bought me years ago before she passed has flourished with eager greenness despite my intermittent care. Seems like nothing could destroy that wonderful thing. That is unt Read More

Cracklin’ Rosie

I suppose some of my readers may know who Neal Diamond is as well as some of his songs from the 70’s and early 80’s (he apparently began songwriting in the 60’s after he was smart and dropped out of college pre – med), but my guess is that knowledge is becoming less and less common now. Admittedly, I am aware of him, and I’ve heard his songs, respect his song writing ability and his su Read More

A Little explanation About Talon

Talon started as a square, non -descript block of wood, I don’t know what kind, probably pine. One of my patients decided to give me a gift for my services. He said he carved wood for a hobby and would create anything I wanted, and even offered to have me review a magazine of examples. At first I told him no, that was too much work, but he insisted and so I acquiesced and said, “a bald eagle”. Des Read More

Soon Talon Will Make His Appearance

He’ll do it on his own time though I’m sure; he always does. You see, he only lets us humans see him when he allows it, or when he’s on a mission that doesn’t require stealth. I’m preparing you now because his beauty will force your heart to leap and his power will leave you with your mouth open wide and your mind awestruck with his quiet supremacy of the world around him. You’ll soon learn that he on Read More

Cliche Madness

Jerry dated Annie for six months, and she finally smartened up and dumped him. He was clueless about women and how they should be treated, especially in a relationship. He needed some beers to wash down the pain. He met his old friend Carl at the bar, a place where the ladies went to show off their tight jeans or short skirts and heels while the men dreamed of impressing them enough to make a score. “Second relat Read More

Happy 2014

  Thank you, my readers for your support in 2013, my debut year in blogging!   While I have much to learn on social media and blogging, I hope I have entertained you with my words and inspired you with some of the stories.  Clearly, not all will enjoy each piece, and for that reason, I vary the content and style and I get a kick out of that. Sometimes, I just crack up laughing when I write some of these pos Read More

Grocery Store Gossip Gagging

  I love women in all their glorious feminine splendor; they are truly beautiful creatures placed on this planet to grace us with a civilization us filthy guys can’t comprehend.  However, having said that, what I am about to write applies predominantly to women, guilty of this horrible act almost 97.8% of the time, according to my calculations. It seems whenever I enter a grocery store checkout line, I’m Read More
