Presents Project
My husband and 15-year-old daughter had an unforgettable experience last December that impacted our entire family. They were giving a ride to another girl on our daughter’s basketball team when conversation turned to Christmas plans.
First class hospital
It is Wednesday, September, 17, 2014, I’m writing from Room 111B at Healdsburg District Hospital (HDH). My room overlooks a lovely courtyard, for which I am most grateful as I recover from my right knee replacement by Drs. Tomasin and Rose.
How Healdsburg lost control of the meat market
The current controversy over changes to the Meat Market project is part of a larger discussion. Open government gives us, the public, a voice in decision-making. One of the most important issues here is whether the public can or should be left out of the decision-making process on a project like the Meat Market.
Common goodness
My husband and I are about to be left behind. I’m talking about something more predictable than the apocalypse: our son will be leaving home in the fall to go to college. We will still have two younger kids at home, so we’re not yet empty nesters, but I nonetheless have a strong sense of nostalgia as I contemplate how quickly time flies and the inevitable changes that are upon our family life.

In 1985 there were over 350,000 cases of paralytic polio in the world. These were basically all in third world countries, as polio had been eradicated, due to immunization, in the United States and Europe and Asia in the 1970s. For the young people who do not know what polio can do, as it is no longer a threat here, it is a virus that can cause permanent paralysis of major muscle groups, including respiratory muscles leading to death.
