AN EXPEDITION
Aboard the airplane at last and finally comfortable in my blue and grey tweed covered seat, I take a deep breath as I wait for the plane to propel into the Canadian night sky. Some passengers are stowing their carry on baggage while others are checking out their new surroundings. A deeply tanned,...

On her way Continued....
I watched her sleep next to me in the passenger seat all nestled into her fluffy pillow. Before falling into a deep snooze she complained she was frozen. Her Capri jeans left her legs bare from the calves down and her thong shoes were not keeping her feet toasty on this seven-degree morning. Her...

On her way ...
Driving down the highway that day was packed with feelings of all sorts. She was sitting in the passenger seat - high again. She talked for a while about rehab and the hate for the drug. Stopping for gasoline, her habit couldn’t resist its urge. She rustled through her sloppily packed bag and pulled...

The snow people are comming ...
So at 5 a.m. it started and it always does. The second the snow begins to fall they start scraping and scraping - right down to the bone. Whether it is a quarter of an inch or two feet it is all the same. A colony of aliens. I pondered this for quite some time and realized they are in fact a group...

DECAFFINATE CHRISTMAS.....
Once again the season of infinite folly is upon us. Ladies and gents prepare yourselves for a battle wrought over 12 days. In the traditional corner, Christmas, with a lifetime record of 2005 wins and 0 losses. In the non-denominational, culturally accepted and politically correct corner, the...

DYING - TWO PATHS - CHOOSE ....
So there I sit watching my mother in severe pain. She is dying. She is typically a very sweet woman who puts everyone else before her - even as she twitches with pain. The tumor on her spine, the one hugging her spinal cord ever so gently, shows no concern as the nurse jerks my mother around. No...

The Verdict is In
Well, the verdict is in but does not guilty really mean innocent? It all came down to the credibility of a mother who for all intents and purposes appears to be a scam artist. The jury was a bit more unsure about the victim but felt that he was influenced by his mother. Is the mother's history and...

TOO SICK TO WHAT?
Well, I am not feeling so well today. I will be spending the day indoors, mostly reading your blogs, commenting and perhaps writing a few of my own even. I suppose I needed this small dent in my health to take some time out for myself and for you. Luckily it is only fifteen degrees out – had it been...

GIMME MY FREAK'N COFFEE !!!
Grrrrrrr - the familiar growl leaving my lips. Angry at the world I was – until this afternoon. Finally completing my medical rotation and all academic related endeavors, I finally had a few days to lounge around and wring out my brain. These quiet grooves often lead to reclusive behaviours. I shut...

I SHALL RETURN WHEN THE SWAMP LOOSENS ITS GRIP ON MY MIND...
The countdown continues as I sink even deeper into the abyss of academia. This of course explains my absenteeism from blogland. The institution of learning always saves the most complicated, grade defining work until the very last month of study. I am swamped. I am up to my knees in murky, gut...
