Home Remedy
I have a cold and a particularly sore throat.
I’ve read that the best remedy for a cold is rest, and that works out fine for me. Unlike many people (especially many moms) I am perfectly able to rest when I am sick. In fact, I often practice resting just so that I’m in tip-top resting form in the event that I get sick. And it’s a good thing that all my resting skills are well-honed for times like this, when I need to spend the better part of 48 hours on the couch.

I’ve added a couple of sections to Partial Recall – and if you’ve been following me for a while they may not be new to you, as they are edited versions of things I wrote a while ago. Soon I’ll have all that material assembled and will have to actually write new stuff.
Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda
Several events in my life lately have me thinking more than usual about time, and destiny and regret. I wrote something before about the illusory nature of “what would have been.” Thee “might have been” is tempting, and maybe in some way instructive, but it is merely a fantasy.
