December 22At the new new-rollogist, who is a Howdy Doody/Doogie Howser combo platter. He does not impress me with either brilliance or sensitivity. I sit for many minutes, two separate times, on a purple vinyl exam table, in a white paper gown (“disrobe down to your undergarments, gown opens in the back”) while he leaves [...]

Earlier this week at chez Fairchild: Jif: You haven’t told me what you want for Christmas… Susie: Yea, if I were you, I’d hold off on spending the big bucks on ME. I mean, you might want to wait until I get a diagnosis before you go buying anything with a long shelf-life, if you [...]
