How far will we go?

4th of July and just enough money to eat on ’til payday. I was on my way to see a friend in a prison half way house.

And The Night Wave Winner Is…Kathy The Crooner!!!

 ’Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream…’

Some people connect over cookies, some bond over baseball and others click over cars, but….trauma?  Blood, guts and gunshots, the E.R. is a unique world all unto itself.  Life, with babies being born, Death with accidents and heart attacks and basically, everything in between!!!

That’s how I met Kathy.  Excellent nurse, cool, calm and collected, I’ve never seen the woman break a sweat over anything the ER department and now the Intensive Care Unit, could throw at her.  Literally. She handles demanding, rude doctors with the same professionalism and ease as she does the frightened and demanding patient.  Trust me, if you end up in critical care, it’s Kathy’s face you want to look up and see taking care of you.

This is an actual photo of me at noon after working my night shift in the Sleep Lab. That 12 o’clock sun can be murder on the eyes, to a night owl like me!

Musical Inspiration From Dreams

To me, the best songs are the ones that come to you in dreams. I wake up, put it down on a cassette next to the bed, turn over and go back to sleep. I wrote “Satisfaction” that way.
(Keith Richards Interview by Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema -22 January 1995)
