A friend's father died on Sunday, he was 101. He had been a diplomat, and he was remarkable enough that he has his obituary in the Daily Telegraph, Tuesday March 26, 2013. If you want to read the story of a dedicated public servant and kind compassionate human being, I recommend that you seek out...

I've been a bit quiet for a few days because along with disaproving of the vast quantity of my possessions the nice realtor lady thought that I ought to get a structural engineer to look at the crack in one of my retaining walls, my house is built into a hill, more about that in a jiffy, and the...

It's a big deal, electing a new Pope. I remember when Pope John 23rd was elected, I sat watching the television, in black and white, with one of my mother's friends, an Irish psychiatric nurse, Maggie Gilmartin. I just looked it up, it was 1958, but I still vividly remember her explaining to me the...

That's a good question... But I'm back, same bat channel.
Had the realtor lady over today to look at the house with a view to seeing if I can sell it and clear the mortgage. Bought it when I moved to Virginia from New Orleans after Katrina, at the top of the market, thank you Philip Morris, and...

Second day and I didn't leave the office until past 8pm, I had still been in the trenches after 6. Several notes still haven't been written, I just had to make myself leave. I did have several pretty complex patients but I failed to take control of myself. While I think it is therapeutic to create...

For me today was the first day of the new work year. This is the year that I am going to learn how to corral all of my work activities into a normal length day, rather than having a long period of inactivity after seeing patients before I wade into writing coherent notes on the visits. It isn't a...

White Rabbits!!!
A peaceful start to the new year, relaxing at home watching my older daughter assemble the fabulous Poang chair and foot stool I've been craving from IKEA for several years, and hanging two curtain rods and curtains for my study. The study is now looking seductively cosy, thick...

I just spent two hours writing this blog on my phone, not an easy matter, and when I tried to copy and save it I managed to cut it instead, losing almost all I had written. I, who have lost untold masterpieces to the blasted delete, cut, or screw you key, did it again.
Not that you shouldn't be...

The kid is coming in, but more to the point the new man is coming by on Saturday, the day after the kid leaves. The kid is 29, but he is still my kid. Anyway, having left it until the last minute I am now flying around the house on my broomstick noticing how I really don't like to clean house. I've...

Thanksgiving is here again, and it's been six years since the first Thanksgiving after Hurricane Katrina came through my city. I don't live there any more, I was lucky, I was able to leave in the December after, and moved to Richmond, Virginia with the dog and the Betta in his travel cup.
It's...
