correlation
About two weeks ago, I was chatting with a coworker about going to the doctor when she told me about the pain she had in her upper arm. It sounded just like the pain I had in my upper arm, I said. It’s probably a rotator cuff injury like mine, she said. A couple days… Read.

bonk
The old Bonkity-bonk-bonk ain’t doing so well these days. A couple weeks ago he came down with what seemed to be an ordinary head cold, but when he couldn’t shake it, we took him to the vet. She gave him some low-grade antibiotics that seemed to help him shake the cold at first, but then… Read.

pinched
I pinched a tendon in my rotator cuff. Not on purpose. I didn’t even know I had a tendon caught in my rotator cuff. If I did, I certainly wouldn’t have kept pinching it in there. That hurts. I found out about this when I visited a physical therapist yesterday morning and told him about… Read.

fumes
I had to stop at the gas station on the way home from the Brian Regan show. When I pulled up to the pumps, I saw that the guy who was there before me bought five dollars worth of gas. That must have been the shortest fill-up ever. Squeeze that handle and CHUNK! You’re done.… Read.

starve
I’m going to remember not to eat this time. Day before yesterday, I had an appointment at the clinic to get my blood drawn for tests. I wasn’t supposed to eat anything after dinner the night before, and I remembered not to eat anything after dinner. The next morning, though, I didn’t remember anything. So… Read.

void
I did not dream anything last night. The last thing I remember about last night is turning out the light, rolling onto my stomach and finding just the right angle for my head before I surrendered to unconsciousness. The next thing I remember is hearing the alarm going bleep bleep bleep. There was no in-between,… Read.

apples
My Darling B is trying to work out how much we should pay in sales tax for all the purchases we make on the internet. According to what she found in the tax code, we do not have to pay sales tax for the subscription to the ISP that hosts this blog because we are… Read.

And I thought I had some ineffable dreams: During last night’s dream, I sat with a group of friends in the luxurious atrium of a vast hotel, gleefully rejoicing that because and although the world had just stopped spinning, we were lucky to find ourselves on its sunny side, if a little late in the… Read.

reptile
The president is a lizard. Not in the metaphorical sense, like being cold-blooded as a way of saying he coolly calculates his political moves, or he blends in with the background, or he’s shifty or whatever else it is lizards are. He’s an actual, two-legged lizard. This is no big secret. Many, many people with… Read.

plug
It was a warm summer’s day, so I was sitting on the back stoop soaking up the sunshine with a book in one hand and a cool, refreshing drink in the other. Birds sang from the trees. Clouds danced across the skies. A really annoying bug flew into my ear, or that’s what it felt… Read.
