[Pulmonary] Of Anniversaries, Happy And Happier

Anniversaries are odd things. Because the word is often proceeded by the word “Happy”, you tend to think of Hallmark moments and celebrations. Yet, all of these words, when absent of the qualifier “happy” can take on a lot of very different meanings. This month is the 2nd anniversary of a hallmark m...

Bucket List: Me And My Farfisa VIP 255

Pulmonary: A Dream Goes On Forever…

http://youtu.be/IjeBZba7-6o I dream in muted color. I know, that is an odd opening statement, but it is true.

Pulmonary: The Air That I Breathe (Revisited)

As I learn to deal with and accept what will define me, my life, and my legacy going forward, I’ve been spending a lot of time looking back. Specifically, I am looking back on both where I have lived my life as well as HOW I’ve lived my life. One thing this has led me [...]

Tires Used To Be Simple

This is a tire. Notice its unique qualities. First, it is flat only on the bottom. Second, it is not on the car itself. Third, it is occupying the space where the spare tire would normally patiently await in the dark recesses of my trunk. Now, the tire isn’t the main focus of this picture. [.....

I’m In The Mood For ???

What AM I in the mood for? Hmmmm. The above picture is a box of “mood rings”. These rings prove, above all else, that people will buy any crap. Mood rings started in the fad crazy 70’s and originally sold for up to $250. However as with all great fads, the king of 70’s mass [...]

Oh, the general subject remains the same, but actions, reactions, and sentiments awakened can make things do a sweet 180 at times.

That’s What She Said (N’yuk n’yuk n’yuk)

Everyone loves to be a fan of something and everyone loves to belong to something. I find these very basic statements to be more true than ever to me as I navigate my lung disease. Since many previous avenues for social and creative real world interaction disappear as you learn the new ropes of your...

Pulmonary Tales: “Air” Travel

I love to travel. I cannot afford to do it much, and a lot of my past travel has either been by plane for video store industry functions, or by car for many vacations. I love to fly, even as the flights and airlines have become more and more crappy. However, because I also love [...]
