Pump Jockeys Part Deux: “Fill’er up Sweetie”

    Back at the gas station another day, the 14 year old, now slightly seasoned and more confident pump jockey nearly always came up to a customer in a car to ask the standard questions:  “Fill’er up and check the oil?” Sometimes we would say, “Good afternoon.  How may I help you today?”  While some of the exact details have flaked away over the cascade of years, you know, the important ones stick li Read More

Where Have All The Pump Jockeys Gone Part 1

    I made sure that I took almost my full hour of lunch at a local diner down the street, leaving within 5 minutes to spare before it was time to clock back in.  I tried not to spend more than $1.35 at lunch if I could since that is what I made per hour that summer, but then that made no sense either if you think about it.  I think that may have bought me a hamburger and coke, possibly fries. So I was heading Read More

Je Ne Sais Quoi, Dr. Carson

  Medicine is a field full of challenges as well as rewards, just like any other profession, and way too much has been written about it for me to do it justice at this time.  So let’s just make it simple: I have luckily chosen the career path years ago that suited my personality and God – given skills or lack of skills fairly well, and I have no doubt that the spiritual rewards I have enjoyed far outweig Read More

Danish Discrimination

  Disclaimer:  This short piece is called satire, and is not reflective of the opinion of Danish people in general, but they are words that begged my fingers to type them, so I couldn’t help it, therefore, I am not at fault.   I am told by some people who I believe were sober that I appear to be of Danish descent, and for that I am proud. But since I am a Danish descendant (not a “danish”) there are some Read More

Doctors and Lawyers in the Same Hotel

A Short but Whimsical Tale A while back I went to a medical conference to soak in some of the most recent research in my field (s), accumulate CME credit for regulatory agencies and of course, to listen intensely to the well  rehearsed pitches of supermodel mannequin pharmaceutical reps in the display halls. (Yes, ladies, there were supermodel male reps there too I am told, but I didn’t notice.) I preferre Read More

Inspiration Sucked Into The Black Hole

Aside

Except for a few reviews of my books that I posted on my blog, I haven’t written a genuine blog piece since May 4.  Shame on me.  Not a very good blogger am I?  I’m told to increase readership and interest in my books I must post several times weekly with interesting content.  Hell, for that matter I’m supposed to brush my teeth three times daily and floss daily as well, pull weeds in my yard and pick u Read More
