The Sinister Side of Sousa
I’ve played clarinet since the fifth grade, so I already had a few years under my belt by the time I made it to Junior High School. I practiced regularly, and I was getting pretty good. Back in those days, the band director would assign your position based upon your ability. The first clarinets were the best, followed by the second clarinets, and of course, the third clarinets were last. If you were assigned the last seat in the third clarinet section, you had nowhere to go but up. At the time of “the incident,” I had made it to the middle of the seconds.

Always Listen
She stood there in the rain, head hung down, trying to focus her eyes in the dark on the package that he had handed her as he laid dying. It was very small and lightweight, wrapped in waxed brown paper and tied with a string. She quickly stuffed it under her coat as she scurried back to her car. After sliding back into the driver’s seat, she placed the package in her glove compartment.

The South Facing Window
After months of ignoring it, my hip pain had grown to the point that I needed to seek medical attention. The usual pain relievers were no longer up to the task. So I started by asking a good friend of mine for help (who just happened to be a Medical Doctor). Unfortunately, she didn’t live close enough to be able to treat me herself, but she did have a recommendation for a good Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). After suffering a few more weeks, I finally gave in and made the appointment.
