Faces of Me

My daughter picked an old life preserver like a favorite toy and it made me realize something about objects and memory.
What Does the Topic of Health Make you Feel Like?
This morning on my way to teach summer school for day one, I heard news on the radio that Tim Russert had suffered a thrombosis and succumbed to a massive heart attack. The news shocked me, he was only 58. The radio host explained he had an enlarged heart which usually means high [...]
