I feel like the thousand pound gorilla is in the room. The gorilla called "Mother’s Day"! Twelve years ago my thoughts on Mother’s Day were along the lines of not wanting to make the day be all about me or to make Robin or anyone feel obligated to make the day a big one or…

My father and the forsythia
This time of year my forsythia bloom. I look forward to seeing this extraordinarily cheerful burst of yellow in the spring. It makes me feel good every time I see it. I planted the forsythia years ago when they were just 2 to 3 feet high. There are twenty-eight of them. It took a lot…

What it’s like the rest of the time …
I lead an ordinary sort of life. Most of the time I am a happy camper. Not literally a happy camper. Just a reasonably happy sort of person who occasionally has had bouts of clinical depression. The clinical depression hasn’t returned since I received treatment for Graves’ Disease. Maybe my thyroid was doing a number…
What it’s like …
One day you wake up angry and in tears because you realize that someone whom you love thinks that you are a bank robber. Someone whom you thought knew you believes that you are a bank robber and they want nothing more to do with you. There is nothing that you can do about this….
