My dystopian future
Wednesday April 28 2021 As I pass by the certificate on the wall, I take note of the name. Turns out the the guy waiting for me in the clinic office is head of the pharmacy. Does that mean he’s a pharmacist by trade or maybe just someone with leaderships skills put in charge of … Continue reading 145. Second Time Around
Sunday March 28 2021 It felt a bit like vertigo when we entered a restaurant today, with the people, noise, and the too-warm air that heralded our arrival. I was hit with a micro-second of disorientation until I could process this chaos. A reminder that I really don't get out much, or at least other … Continue reading 142. Hold the Ketchup
Friday March 26 2021 Not gonna lie. While I was sending positive thoughts over these past few months to Big Pharma to develop a viable COVID-19 vaccine, I was a little squinty-eyed on the real possibility of this happening.

Tuesday November 24 2020 Because I’m cutting my morning a little tight, I don’t take the time to cue up a podcast for the office commute.

Monday May 25 2020 Following the overture of the rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, Judas opens the story with the line “I remember when this whole thing began …” Which has nothing to do with anything right now, really.
