Got hookworms?
Nothing, and I mean nothing in my 20s would have prepared me for 47. Yesterday, I found myself standing in line at the checkout stand behind many clever-looking older hipsters at the Co-op in Davis. I was in work slacks, slick shoes, my hair down,...

The stork that wasn’t wanted
Oh, horror of horrors — the damned test is positive. I neatly lined it up next to the other four tests taken the previous four mornings. They were all identical except for one ever-changing feature: the second line was getting darker. As I let out...

PICU paranoia
Whenever I’m asked what I do for a living and say I’m a Pediatric ICU nurse, I get the same response: “lucky baby.” It always stops me in my tracks and I don’t really know how to respond, so I usually say “I guess so.”...

We wouldn’t have let Bush get away with this
OK, it’s time for the Come To Jesus talk about the Gulf oil spill. Now, I love Barack Obama, really and truly, but let’s be honest: If this disaster occurred on George W. Bush’s watch, the Liberal Left would be demanding his head on a...

When you were little
My daughter, Lauren, loves stories about her escapades when she was little. She’s 26 now, but she still savors each tidbit. My son AJ, 24, couldn’t care less, but I know he’ll get interested when he has his own kids. He’ll want to know what...

Promoting sustainable green energy… er, I mean…. grunt, grunt
To all my feminist friends, please forgive me… Throughout the 1990s there was a rather cheesy family sitcom by the name of “Home Improvement,” in which the lead character – a father and home maintenance man by the unassuming name of Tim — grunted bellicosely...

So many left behind, so little time
Public education, however idealistic, necessary and misguided in funding, is sick. I don’t mean headache or Midol sick, I mean, ICU, ventilator sick. When education is sick, literacy and the future of our country is sick. It’s a big deal. It’s time to reevaluate how...

The other ‘C word’
I had my identity stolen. We’re not talking credit card and Social Security numbers. No, we’re talking the actual characteristics that made up my identity as an individual… all the things that set me apart from those around me were completely stripped away. I’d love...

When parents and grandparents collide
When people say becoming a parent changes you, it can be hard to grasp exactly how it changes you unless you have experienced it firsthand. What I has surprised me is how it changes all your relationships. Most people expect it to put a strain...
