Retired RN. Married 32 years to Paula, teacher, who I met on a flight Glasgow-Boston Dec. 1990. She died of pancreatic cancer April 2023. And lost a housemate, Anne, outstanding nursing colleague and friend, 11/13/25. And then there’s Cabby, still in my ❤️.

You want a Christmas movie with a dark thread, look no further than ‘It’s a Wonderful Life”. Perhaps it wasn’t a hit in 1946 because of what service personnel had seen during WWII just what life could hand out. Or perhaps it was a dark cloud with a silver lining.

Can’t wait for the kibitzers to weigh in on Melania’s H-1B after she had already violated her visitor’s visa (unless she worked gratis). It’s a tangled web.

Actually, “wood” panels (probably re-enforced plastic which is stronger than steel…someone please tell Trump and Cruz) kind of give the Tesla truck a little more appeal: the Tesla Woodie.

It should be burgers and fries with Diet Coke, not fish and loaves. But hey, according to Kristi Noem, Trump prevented hurricanes this past season, I guess by redirecting them with his Sharpie. Miracles can happen….Wait a minute! Is that propaganda?

Janelle Alder, AS-RN, whom I precepted her last day in clinical before graduation 2021. Joyfully went as a volunteer nurse in PAMAS, a medical mission service in the Phillipines, only to be lost at sea when the 60-yr old Yellow Bee copter went down 30 miles from shore. My memory of her haunts me.
