In the “Jeez, people are stupid” category, I was reminded yet again today how many folks just make you shake your head in amazement. I had a minor surgical procedure done earlier today. No big deal, but I’ve had a bad reaction (agonizing pain) in the past when it was done in the doctor’s office, [...]

How do they even survive?

…and so should you, if you haven’t already. One of the things I’ve always treasured with Dori is how she values voting (and to a lesser extent, politics) as much as I do. Other than the very occasional elections where it’s only local judges or school boards where I don’t know enough to vote intelligently, [...]

Ten years ago today, I was standing on the lawn at Madrona Manor here in Healdsburg, surrounded by our family and friends. I was about to marry the woman of my dreams. She was smart, funny, pretty, geeky, brilliant, thoughtful, and kind. I was crazy in love with her. Best of all, she had said [...]

Tom’s back in the hospital—it turns out that he caught some kind of infection post-op, and it’s turned septic (note that this is not the same thing as septic shock, which he had four years ago).
