HOME “Carson, it’s time for you to go home now. Get out of here while you can.” My partners rescue me and tell me that from time to time, and I sure am relieved to hear it. I’m going home! Exhausted, I try to stay awake on the blurry drive home from my 36-hour shift at the hospital, but I can’t seem to turn my brain off from the flurry of messages and memories about my patients, ricocheting around inside Read More

Hit or Get Hit

I loved baseball when I was a kid; after all, it was America’s sport, at least when I was small. Ok, I was and still am a Cub’s fan, but I won’t tell you my favorite players when I was a kid for obvious security reasons. So, of course, I went out and joined a little league baseball team, fast pitch, well, sometimes fast, usually wild hardball – or at least they were solid, hard rubber coated balls that hu Read More

While I admit I’m not much of a techie, I do the basics such as texting (learned that maybe 5 years ago), emailing, viewing video presentations/lectures on my I pad etc. Heck, I even learned how to post some of my work on my blog and I try to do twitter a little, but then, I don’t really get the silly twitter – shmitter. Maybe now you will understand my shortcomings when it comes to marketing my novel and Read More

There is only one day out of 365 that I only try to survive, hoping the daylight vanishes quickly and the darkness immediately escapes into the rejuvenating sunlight of the next day so I can rush off to work and be ridiculously busy. And for that same reason, I didn’t go to church today. I wanted to, but just couldn’t do it. This is the one day out of 365 that I absolutely can’t go to a church service. Too m Read More

A Good Number

A Good Number Not infrequently, I’m at a business establishment and I receive this question: “What is a good number for us to call you?” Now I don’t know about you, but I usually try to give nonexistent or disconnected numbers when I want to be called back. Right? In fact, I often try to leave a fax number for people to call so that I can destroy the caller’s fragile ears. Not uncommonly, I carry a lis Read More

WILE E. COYOTE Some of you older folks may remember the Looney toon – Wile E. Coyote ( Carnivorous Vulgarus, Hungrii fleabagius, Hard Headipus Ravenous) and Road Runner ( Semper foodellus, super – sonic idioticus, Speedipus Rex), apparently broadcast in the 50’s through 80’s. Of course, I don’t remember it playing live on TV because of my young, tender age, but I have of course, watched many of these ed Read More

Get your house in order!

What to do in the morning before you leave for work to avoid embarrassment: Since I’m a bachelor, I have total freedom to do what I want and when as well as how I want to do it in my house with no words from others to tell me otherwise. That is of course, unless the cat objects, in which case I just fight him for control of the Carson domestic kingdom. Sometimes I win. This freedom of course, has its advantages Read More

Yes, God is real

Aside

Sure, we’ve all seen rainbows after a fresh rain, but each time I witness one, I am reminded of the beauty and majesty of the earth God created. But then, I am also reminded of how real God is each time I get up and take a breath in the morning. Read More
