With regard to the first word – snoring, the medical field – especially sleep m Read More

Don’t be afraid. Feel the Music.

Posted on September 23, 2013 by main

Admittedly before I started writing this piece I enjoyed some smooth red wine, and of course, that allows the words to flow much more freely and with less of a filter, but it is good for the heart. At the same time, you should be thankful that I am writing these words rather than speaking them, and thus you can’t hear the shlurrred speech. The truth is this: I’m a tough son of a gun at Read More

One More Thing About Runners…

Posted on September 8, 2013 by main

I’m not into bumper stickers, but have you ever noticed that it’s becoming popular now for some people to sport bumper stickers that read: “I’m a Runner” or “I run” or “I run therefore I am.” That bothers the hell out of me. First off, nobody cares if you are a runner or a fat slob so why advertise for no reason? If you were a real runner, and you know what I mean by that, you wo Read More

“Get Your Program Together!”

Posted on September 8, 2013 by main

It was Brevard, North Carolina, sometime in the 70’s. I won’t tell you exactly what part of that decade otherwise you’ll peg my tender age.

Beach Ladies in the Land That Time Forgot

Posted on August 24, 2013 by main

If you’ve already spent a precious 22 seconds reading the “About SRCarson” section of my blog, you’ll already remember that I grew up in Southern California fantasyland. Not to belabor the point, but I ate, drank and slept surfing when I was a young man: Malibu, Huntington Beach and Seal beaches got my trunks wet the most often. So I can imagine that it comes as a surprise to you that I’m wr Read More

Bring Back Ellen

Posted on August 8, 2013 by main

It was good while it lasted I guess. I went to ride up to the ninth floor with Ellen today, but she wasn’t available. I just finished a surgery and I sure needed her – that soothing voice, relaxing non – elevator music and of course skillful hands to massage my tense shoulder muscles. Yellow caution tape draped in an X fashion across her always welcoming door, and a sign that read “un Read More

Love my Elevator and She Loves Me

Posted on August 1, 2013 by main

Thankfully using elevators is an uneventful occurrence for those of who travel between floors in large buildings. When it becomes an eventful occurrence, it can be a huge stress of course and people in general have their guards up while traveling in these necessary conveyances.
