*author’s note: Unless you knew me before 1989, you are not allowed to call me Missy. As I drove through the vastness of beige, I needed a bathroom break. I blew by the saloon and the biker bar, but stopped at a “rest area.” The asphalt was sticky and I of course promptly fell. The…
I made it to Las Vegas after 40 years in the desert. Ok, it was more like four hours in the desert, but you get the picture. Vegas was fun. Did you know that by Nevada state law, prostitutes/escorts/call-girls/whatever you call them, can not quote a price for services over the phone? Melissa, you may…
Today was bad. Started off bad and looks to end up…not so good. So why did I name this post “Moses?” Simple, the drive from LA to Phoenix is nothing but beige, barren land. It went on forever and ever. And ever. If Moses wandered around in the desert for 40 years, well, bless his…
Can’t you just hear Willie Nelson? Anyway, driving from LA back to Tennessee via Phoenix, Vegas, Utah/Colorado, touch of Wyoming, then Kansas, Missouri, Calhoun, Kentucky and finally, Knoxville. As before, my trusty sidekick Eleanor will be riding shotgun. No time table, just me, my MS and the dog.
I have been a fan of Paul Reubens aka Pee-Wee Herman for as long as I can remember. I loved Pee-wee’s Playhouse and through the years I have had opportunities to meet Mr. Reubens, but something is always getting in the way. But not today. Nope, I was unsure how I would do getting to…
I am currently in LA for an extended period taking a class at the Marilyn Hilton MS Achievement Center. While I feel good, I am not fabulous. Ergo, I am mobile, but cautious as my knee is not 100% from my surgery 7 weeks ago. So, I am limiting my trips out and about. However,…
Thinking of my friends, Anne Luchessi Spina and her husband Jim today. Both have invisible, pre-existing medical conditions. Anna has Arnold Chiari Malformation (which I also have a very minor case of), Spiro -something I can’t say, let alone spell, and her husband has had a kidney transplant. Jim is in today for I believe…
OK, since I have proven that I am capable of doing a road trip, I am planning my next one. I have always wanted to see the Northeast during the fall, so that is what I am thinking. Obviously a much shorter trip, but, I could get a few more states off my list. Namely…
Well, Trump (or as Evangelicals call him, Platform. You know, so they could feel good about voting for a pussy grabbing, Russian colluding (Benghazi! Emails!), disable persons mocking, unsecured Android phone using, formerly pro-choice, Hillary supporting man, under the guise of keeping some theoretical future child safe versus the children who are already here, because…
So, while in LA I managed to get into a fight with a welcome mat. The welcome mat won. I suffered a chipped bone in my left ankle and a bad sprain. Go me. This necessitated another trip to see Dr. Anaconda, who was as charming as ever. Even after I told her I never…
