Friday’s Feast and a little more.

March 31, 2006

Appetizer:
Name 3 things that you think are strange.

– Brocoflower. You know, that weird broccoli-cauliflower hybrid thing. I mean –WTF? Was that really necessary?

– People who get their butt cracks waxed.

– People who talk loudly on their cell phones in public about things that should be very private. Like getting their butt cracks waxed.

Soup:
What was the last ceremony you attended?

Commencement the year I graduated from Notre Dame. Hey, I had to go… Dubya was delivering the commencement speech!

Salad:
What is one lesson you have learned in the past year?

Sometimes it’s necessary to be completely selfish and there isn’t anything wrong with that.

Main Course:
Tell us about one of your childhood memories.

I have a favorite that always comes to my mind this time of year and it’s about color.

I was about 9 or 10, I think. It was Easter, and I was outside riding my bike, which happened to be a beautiful shade of blue. I looked up and noticed how clear and blue the sky was. I looked down at myself and I was wearing a blue sweater, the same color as the sky… wearing jeans in another shade of blue, and my new Keds, which matched my sweater. Then I sat on the seat of my bike and peeled a hard boiled Easter egg, which was the bluest blue of them all.

I know it’s an odd memory, but it was one of those moments of synchronicity that has stayed with me all of my life.

Dessert:
If you could extend any of the four seasons to be twice as long as normal, which season would you want to lengthen?

Autumn, with Spring coming in a very close second.

In other news, I am happy to report that my trip to see The Wisconsin PillMan was a great success. We had a good intake session, got to know each other a little bit, and discussed my meds. (We’re going to keep them at the current levels for another month, then decide if I need to bump the dosage again.)

The best thing is that his family of origin is from Dubuque, his wife’s family of origin is from the town in Wisconsin where he has his practice, and they have absolutely no plans of ever leaving the area.

It’s comforting to know that my serotonin and other brain chemicals are finally in the hands of a competent and permanent health care professional again.

More again soon, my friends…
