Prescription for Disaster: The funny side of falling apart – Review

May 25, 2014 by acrockofschmidt 3 Comments

My wife and I were huge fans of the TV show House. We watched every week for all eight seasons and if we did miss an episode we dutifully downloaded it from a torrent site (did I just incriminate myself?) and watched it on the computer as soon as possible. I was already dealing with […]

Prednisone Is Hell!

April 14, 2014 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

This was edited April 2014 from its original first published as part of my Christmas 2010 letter. This letter was going to be a rambling tale of sadness and gloom; literary Blues; a declaration of despair; a melancholy manifesto of misery.  A true opus of self-pity and oh-woe-is-me the likes of which would make Eeyore […]
