Tragically Hip

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

You know you are getting old when your favorite ’80’s rockers are either soon to show up on the cover of the AARP (Madonna and Prince) or are having hip replacements.
My imaginary 1980’s lover, Eddie. Hip replacement and tongue removal. Gawd!

Steve Perry, hip replacement.

Paul Stanley, hip replacement.

Mick what’s his name from Motley Crue. Hip […]

Heal Thyself

Monday, April 14th, 2008

So last week I visited the doctor. The Good Doctor knows I don’t come around much; only when needed, and I NEEDED a physical. I pride myself on staying out of the health care system, but I don’t want to be a Melton Medical Mystery either!
A new computer system had been in place for […]

Hummers

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

No not this kind.

St. Louis hotel 2005.
This Kind:

We’ve been successful attracting the hummingbirds and butterflies the last couple of years. Even with the hunters next door! According to the calender, the hummingbird scouts should be coming in the next week or so. So, why do I feel pressure?
Funeral Directors, depending on where you are…if you […]

Brush With Greatness

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Last month I had the television on and in the background was a documentary on the boxer, Joe Louis. I snapped to attention at the mention of Louis’ attorney, Truman K. Gibson Jr. Honestly, I’m sad to say that I’d never heard of Gibson, until 2006, when his grand daughter called from D.C. to […]

Time is of the Essence

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

As difficult and harsh as the weather’s been lately, the beauty of spring is beginning to emerge. Buds on the trees, greening of the grass, birds returning to the garden.
Mr. Davis shared these predictions for the future from a 1968 Mechanixs Illustrated mag:
People have more time for leisure activities in the year 2008. The average […]

Hillbilly Funeral

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

More death and burial folklore from famous hillbilly folklorist Vance Randolph:
Time Stops: When a death finally occurs, one of the bereaved neighbors rises immediately and stops the clock. Everybody knows that if the clock should happen to stop of itself while a corpse is lying in the house, another member of the family would die […]

SCI-FI CSI LA

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

The student at Embalmed to the Max introduced us to Thomas Noguchi, former LA Medical Investigator, L.A. Chief Coroner, and the inspiration for the show “Quincy”. We dug a little deeper and found an interview done in 1986 and found these futuristic thoughts.
On “Psychological Autopsies”:
I hope to see the day when we […]

Fox On The Run

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Oh baby, it’s good. Let’s recap, shall we?
Friday Yoga was divine. The opening and unkinking, good medicine. Frankly, we fought the urge to skip the session, no time for navel gazing or staring at my Big Toe. There’s Work To Be Done! With the holidays, illness, death, taxes, and our covert operations, […]

Big Buddha Bud

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

In the Mailbox: the usual heavy spam loaf, and among the pitches for replica purses, watches, and the nasty unmentionables, this subject line caught my eye:

Smoke up the bud
Get 100% best legal bud, herbal smokes..
Big Buddha Bud, Super Stunk and more…
will make you go crazy right away!

Just what I […]

Mental Clarity

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Shaking off the fog known as carbo loading and trying to stay focused for the end of the year push. We’re evaluating our mission and getting ready for the tax man. A whirlwind year, yet a slow and painful progress.
Found this little tidbit buried in the archives:

1. Guard your time. Make all your spare […]
