daughter, and the nerve-wracking drive on a busy highway … road trips like that were just not something we can keep on doing – and never mind the hours’ long trip to Pflugerville or Victoria to the Aldi outlet.(That’s for when we are going in that direction for something else, ...
My version would go like this: “Three of these things are CP-related; two of these things could be CP-related but also could be several other things that are completely unrelated.” Catchy, no? I could make a Venn diagram with CP, cervical myelopathy, and fibromyalgia, and there would ...
Yet even though nowhere before have we been faced with the immediacy of distant death, nowhere before have we been so distant to killings that are incurred by people who are trying to send a message to us. In effect, terrorism targeting civilians is not targeting the people who were actually...

Now these two are the slowest of the slow. You cannot rush them. Yet when I yelled that we had to go to the ER both made it to the car in less than three minutes. This included the putting on of shoes making this quite the world record! We looked like crazy people but what can...
