• Emergency room visits at Essentia the weekend of 12/16/2011. One visit Friday night 12/16/2012, one visit Sunday night 12/18/2012.
  • Visit with Neurologist, Dr. Penney, in January 2012. He put me on a anti=-inflammatory for two months to nail it. Look for name in home files.
  • If this happens again, I was advised by Dr. Penney to: take 400 ml of Motrin 3 times per day for 3-4 days (no not stop early!). If this does not help call him!

  • I spoke a whole sentence when I was eight months old. Before I was talking. I was propped up on the couch while my mother was cleaning the living room and I just said it. My mother was shocked and told my dad about it when he got home. He didn't believe her and while they were arguing about it I said it again. They both remember this but neither one remembers what I said.
  • I drove a car (a drive-away) all the way from Boston to San Francisco with a friend of mine. We totaled it right outside Boston, but continued to drive it all the way to Wisconsin (where we had it checked out by my mom's mechanic) and then continued all the way to Salt Lake City where we put a new tire on where we had rubbed one raw (at the suggestion of my mother's mechanic) and then kept right on going to the container port at San Francisco whe...

  • “There is still a popular fantasy, long since disproved by both psychoanalysis and science, and never believed by any poet or mystic, that it is possible to have a thought without feeling. It isn’t.

When we are objective, we are subjective too. When we are neutral we are involved. When we say ‘I think’ we don’t leave our emotions outside the door. To tell someone not to be emotional is to tell them to be dead.” Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal (2011).
