When you’re falling awake
And you take stock of the new day
And you hear your voice croak
As you choke on what you need to say –
Well, don’t you fret, don’t you fear
I will give you good cheer
Life’s a long song

Life’s a long song
Haven’t been feeling very resilient lately (months..) but I guess I have a good excuse. So I decided to change my name of my blog to Life Is A Long Song – compliments of Jethro Tull.
All I hear is “resilient..”
I am not sure I've ever heard the term "resilient" bandied about as much as I have the last month or so. Suddenly everything's "resilient". New York is resilient. Health care workers are resilient. Americans are resilient. Italians are resilient. The Earth itself is...

Bells and Whistles of St. Tinnitus
Slight rant alert: what a night I had last night with tinnitus. Ever had super loud tinnitus? I lay in bed and I literally could not fall asleep because of the noise in my head. Usually it's not that bad, but I may as well have been trying to sleep in a...
