Working on a return to normalcy
March 18, 2008 · Posted in Personal
My recent hospital stay up at Mayo (that I jokingly refer to as my incarceration) has put a lot of things into perspective for me (as did the month I’ve had to be off work). Things were looking a bit uncertain for a little while there, and me being my usual worrywart self, immediately was thinking of worst case scenarios (yeah, it’s a little scary when your condition is baffling doctor after doctor). Luckily everything turned out okay, but it was a good reminder that life is way too short and we have to make the most of it. I’ve got so many things I’d like to work on or accomplish now. I just wish there were more hours in the day and I had more energy. Here’s a short list of what I’ve come up with so far:
- Make more weekend trips to see old friends
- Do more blockprinting
- Take a yoga class/work on managing stress
- Experiment with more creative ways of taking photos
- Expand graphic design skills
- Come up with a more consistent cleaning schedule
- Get materials together for teaching the photo class next month
- Watch less tv
- Go for walks
- Try to find one thing each day that inspires me

What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No. I go for the chandelier; it’s priceless. As I’m taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I love the cold. Thirty years later I get a postcard. I have a son. And he’s the Chief of Police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier.

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
