While living in VA transitional housing, I found a cache of black walnut shells. They were under a tree close to a food pantry in the same complex. I remembered where that tree was. After about 7 months of communal living, my caseworker found a wheelchair-accessible apartment. Lucky thing too because although I have prosthetic … [Read more…]
Team spirit is why we are driven to see only black and white. I love a football game when my first wife and I choose opposite sides. She graduated law school from the Ohio State University, so she cheers Ohio State. I enjoy the bickering, so I root for anyone else. Team spirit is not … [Read more…]

For more than seven years, I have wintered in hospitals, rehabs and nursing homes. Loosing the legs, becoming a double amputee knife maker did not happen suddenly. The legs came off a bit at a time. There was also the heart attacks, septic shock, and organ failure. Combined, although I fought it, I have spent … [Read more…]
Still a bit stoned on morphine, cute techs, and bitching hot nurses. I got that inappropriate term from Dr. House. Got the morphine from doctor Doogie Howser. I kind of fell threw a deck. Got my prosthetic stuck. Was rescued by the fire department. In other words, typical uneventful day. I love writing and smoking … [Read more…]
Folk often ask me if I lost my legs in the war. After years of therapy and properly medicated, I am now able to talk about it. Yes, my buddy Rudolf and I were on patrol. We weren’t on the front lines. But there were reports of what folk call terrorists. We just called them … [Read more…]
