• First Surgeries, Allergies, and Pleasant Eating – Thoughts from November 2, 2024

  

  Before I left for work today, I got a call from Kaiser to schedule the appointment to treat my throat and plan the removal of the polyp on my vocal cord. Honestly, I didn’t know if I was going to be scheduling the procedure itself. I wasn’t. This is the checkup before the procedure. It…

• Preparing for Vegas – Thoughts from April 6, 2024

  

  Patti and I drive out tomorrow to Las Vegas. She wants to leave the house at 11:00 am. You may consider that barely in the morning, but it’s what time I woke up this morning. I set the clock for 9:00 am so I can do some of my morning stuff. Yes, two hours is…
