Cheryl is with Adam today at the Magic Kingdom, outside of Orlando. Around here this is nothing special, particularly for the last year. A little over a year ago we cashed in a few years of reward points on our Chase Disney Visa Card and bought annual passes. The kids have loved it. It’s meant almost unlimited Disney. We’ve used every discretionary dollar to indulge their inner mouse…
This is a repost from September 20th, 2004. The average daily traffic back then was REALLY low. So, from time to time I’m going to bring another back out, now that readership has moved beyond a bored medical student with relatively close family ties.

This weekend I told to someone caffeine was a recent vice. It was subsequently suggested my recent obsession with…
This is well trod ground as topics go. However, I’m not afraid to boldly tread where better men have trod before!
It might be the dullest post you’ve ever kept your eyes open for, but some of you may feel me on this one.
As for the rest of you [INSERT RASPBERRY HERE]
… and I ain’t talkin’ about no damned fruit, neither!

I type.
I used to write.
Do want to hear something funny?
Who doesn’t, that’s what I wanna know?
It’s not human.
It’s un-frigging-American!
But enough already. It seems I may have heart disease.
Did you bust your gut? Maybe blow a few rivets? You gotta hand it to my body. It’s a regular… well… some comedian who’s really funny.
There are five-year-olds who deal with worse…
I have an anonymous valentine. It’s not something I received from someone else. It’s something I have for someone else, in the form of this post.
Pretty lame, right?
No, this is not a sign of trouble in my marriage. It’s the opposite, in a way.
Someone’s relationship – a big one – broke up this weekend. I feel bad, but I don’t know how to express it.
On this day, one year ago, I learned my leukemia was not in remission anymore. The disease I think about every day anyway, was back on active duty.
But you know what? The numbers from blood tests the docs look at to determine when it’s time to start chemotherapy haven’t changed since then. The disease remains better than the cure, so I continue to wait.
My red blood cell count, along…
Like many of my posts, I wrote the lion’s share of this one some time ago. I was inspired to polish and post it by a friend’s recent, much better post.
Let me tell you a little something you may not know about sinusitis.
I do not like sinusitis. I do not like it with a nose. I do not like it when it blows. I do not like it in my head. I do not like it lying in a bed.
It’s been…
The clock is cruel.
3:41 a.m.
Apparently it’s never heard of the saying, “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.”
I am awake, craving a protein bar of all things.
However, just when I think I’m too alert to sleep, I look at the screen and find three pages of the letter n. Why n? It’s not even on the home row of keys. I fear the…
It may seem I’ve been gone for a while, but it’s not true. I’ve been here and there. I’ve just been invisible for a while. You would think I was agonizing over a feature article for the newspaper. I have two or three posts in the queue (not counting countless, abandoned ones) that are “mostly done” but I can’t bring myself to finish/post. You’ve…
