I’m not in the mood for any more serious stories right now so here’s a recent story. One day last week I umm, well, I tooted. It made a funny, high-pitched noise and although Noah didn’t even react, Amy spun her head around and asked “Did the baby do THAT?”
Inspired by Kristy's very courageous blog entry I'll tell a story that I almost NEVER tell only because I want to eventually make a point. When I was 14 I was still a straight A student who rarely got in trouble while my peers were all messing with inhalants (locker room), smoking, drinking and breaking […]
A recurring theme I heard when public speaking about mental illness was disbelief. There are a lot of people out there who question why so many people are being diagnosed with mental health issues.

I think I’ll tell 3 dark and moody stories this story-telling weekend so that next week I can have sugary sweet anecdotes and pictures of the children. Besides, I plan to blither on and on about the wonderfulness of the Westminster Dog Show next week.

Yes, I have windows in my head or more specifically, on the apple of my cheeks. When I was a child and teen my Mother worked for an otolaryngology group in Memphis. Staff could have any test or treatment for just what insurance would pay and the rest was written off. So, every time anyone […]
Who will die tonight on Lost? Ethan or Charlie? Update: Unless you TIVO you already know the answer to this question now.
