short shameful confession #6

written by Jana August 20, 2008

To John, a few hours after trimming off some wiry black hairs around my scabby leg wound:

“Do you think my leg is scary-looking?”

“It’s a lot less scary now that it doesn’t have a beard.”

That is true love! My husband still thanks me for taking care of him when he had his leg in a cast from being hit by a car and that was well over ten years ago. He got a taste of what it was like to be cared for and I got to know what it was like to be the care taker. A really nice change of rolls.

That is love! But, as I’m sure you know, hair is good because it means there’s good circulation going on. So keep on growing! :-)

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
