Random Thoughts While Stuck in Traffic
by Steve West on October 30, 2021

There's a serious traffic jam on the 495 Washington beltway that I happen to be stuck in. It's worse than stop & go, stop & go - it's more like stooooooop & go, stoooooooooooop & go. Trying to stay awake, my mind is wandering, giving me images and sounds.
*If I were to open a furniture store, I would call it the Sit Shack. Or maybe a DIY surgery shop called Suture Self.
*Brenda's music teacher friend told her she's fond of tongue twisters which she uses as lip looseners for her trumpet players. It seems to me the opposite would happen. Lip lock. But I offered her 'How many Lowe's could Rob Lowe rob if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's.' She was only mildly amused.
*Try not to be selfish this Hallowen. Vampires suck your blood for the vitamin C it contains because they can't go out in the sun. Did you ever think about that? No. Because all you think about is yourself. - That'll probably find its way to Facebook.

Oooooo... traffic is moving 10 mph, now! Gotta go.

My Favorite Memory

Yesterday, we held the memorial service for my father-in-law. There were approximately 100 people attending and afterward about 1/3 gathered at his home for a small meal and sharing remembrances. I chose to share my memory of the time, twenty years ago, when I asked him for his blessing for my planned proposal to Brenda, his eldest daughter. Go »

As The Firm Sang - I'm Radioactive

Brenda is under quarantine now because of an ablation procedure that makes her radioactive. Some stray thyroid tissue is apparently on her oncologist's hit list and he won't be denied. I'm sleeping on the couch for the next three nights and I'm doing the Daddy thing solo for the next three days. Go »

A few nights ago, Brenda and I took the girls to Baltimore for a follow-up appointment for Olivia at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. She is treated at their Epilepsy clinic because of seizures.
