There’s a deadly virus going around in the United States,, and it is called “Greed.” I was reminded of the word in a reblog on Keith Wilson’s post recently. But I’m still learning Gutenberg so I’m still using page one only, so you’ll have to go fish on Keith Wilson’s blog…

FYI, I’ve been living pillar to post from the day after the eclipse til March 8, when my son-in-law came from Atlanta and worked on additional repairs. Now, in the process of trying to empty 3 storage units, I’ve had to go through more early material, some of which is sort of different, but may be of interest at the risk of being seen as bragging…

To the Tune of My Home Town by Tom Lehrer:

There’s a lady to whom I’ve taken a fancy

who used to be called Nancy

but now is known simply as Nan Mykel.

Oh the pain she has taken us through

learning our addictive cycle.

I really have a yen

to have her lead Phoenix again.

It won’t be the same without our Doctor Nan

for what she has taught us about levels of denial.

We each consider ourself her biggest fan

Remember SAFE?

Tells us if we have an addiction

but if we suffer from this affliction

all is not lost.

We only need to poison our fantasies

and nightly turn a thought’s kernel

into a twelve-page journal.

We’ve learned about SUD’s and Dangerous situations,

abstinence and Failed Expectations–

Early Warning Signs, had our Thinking Errors upended

It’s a pity we didn’t learn all of this

before we offended.

As you begin your retirement

and enter a new environment

there is really no requirement

to keep in touch.

But please do, dear Doctor Nan

We will miss you so much….
