During the final days at the House, Kadie (or is it Katie?) pulled me in for an exit interview. She wanted to know how I felt the programming, staff, and activities where helpful – what I thought was so ‘great’ about the House. Really, it was just a self-serving BS interview. One of those “tell me what… Read more

Phone conversations are not my favorite. Texting, writing, e-mails – sure. I can write thoughts and feelings down, edit for clarity, and feel completely embarrassed that there are words I still cannot spell – but Spell Check can. Speaking is an uncouth cousin by comparison.

Trina, my illness absent primary therapist, chose it for me. Kadie had to guide the ceremony – but there really wasn’t any need to – the elder clients were well-skilled… Read more

1984 is a wonderful novel penned by Orwell somewhere in the late 1940s. (1949, I think.) If you’re unfamiliar, the novel, set roughly 30 years before the date it was supposed to happen, is the birth of the Thought Police, Big Brother, and thoughtcrime, and other words that have (oddly and easily) become part of… Read more

Yesterday, Indiana started early voting for the quickly approaching November elections. This is a blessing – and a curse. Blessing – voters, such as those with busy schedules, physical concerns, or who are elderly, can conveniently chose s time, location, and will, hopefully avoid standing in long lines. Early voting encourages participation. Curse – the… Read more
