SOMETIMES THE BIG THINGS DON’T SEEM SO SCARY WHEN YOU FACE THEM HEAD ON. WHY DO WE AVOID GOING TO THE DENTIST OR THE DOC, AND MOST OF ALL, THE DERMO(TOLOGIST)? IN OUR SECRET LITTLE BRAINS, WE KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE DISCOVERED, DON’T WE? IT’S WORSE TO WAIT AND FRET THAN GO AND GET OVER IT!

NO, I’M NOT A POET AND DON’T KNOW IT, HAHAHA, I HAVE A GREAT POEM FOR YOU ON THE PAGES OF THIS SITE, UNDER POETRY. I WRITE ABOUT THE FABULOUS ROCK SCULLY, WHO MANAGED THE GRATEFUL DEAD FOR A LONG TIME, AND “LED THE LIFE” AS MY FRIEND TOM SAYS. HIS JOURNEY ENDED RECENTLY AND THERE WERE A LOT OF SORRY HEARTS, BUT THEY ALL GATHERED TO REJOICE IN A FINE MANNER! HOORAY FOR THE DEADHEADS AND THEIR ATTITUDE ABOUT KARMA. IT’S GONNA GET YA, REGARDLESS!

SO I COME TO YOU TODAY A BIT WOUNDED, WITH A BANDAGE THE SIZE OF TEXAS ON MY FINE LITTLE LEG, AND I DESERVE TO BE QUIET AND THOUGHTFUL, DON’T I? YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED BEING ABLE TO DANCE AND RUN AND WALK MILES, AND HAVE GREAT SEX WITHOUT WORRYING, HUH? JUST REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU CANCEL THAT CHECKUP, KIDS! GO AND FACE THE MUSIC, GET THE WISDOM TEETH PULLED, HAVE A MAMMOGRAM AND PROSTATE TEST, BE WELL.

YOU ARE SO WORTH IT!

LOTS OF LOVE,
