Checked in to rehab again. Five nights a week for the first five weeks, or something like that. Check in, get your sample cup, go pee, turn in the cup, sit down, wait for the others to trickle in, no pun intended. Tonight our rehab leader was looking quite attractive, to me. I’m heterosexual. SheContinue reading “Rehab 3”

The Mistake, Revisited
“We’ve reviewed the court transcripts and there were no conditions placed on the reduction of charges from Felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Doorknob. The defendant is charged with reckless misdemeanor assault and resisting arrest.” Judge Judgeson turned his gaze from Mr. Phycks to Ms. Anesthesia and back as he gave his pronouncement. Phycks andContinue reading “The Mistake, Revisited”
Sexing the Mice
I met Hans the next day at Room 201 on the second floor of the Annexation Building. Charlie Deckard, the mouse sexer, was with him. We entered the room. The mice were already there, in cages on a couple of carts. “Alright, let’s do this” said Charlie. “Hans and Justin, just feed me the cages.Continue reading “Sexing the Mice”
Pathology Lab
I pushed my cart on down the hall to the Pathology lab, and key carded in. I stopped at the front desk. “HI, I’m from Radiation Safety. Somebody called for a Brachy Seed check.” “Oh, yeah. I think that’s Tyra. Sue! Radiation Safety is here. Who called? Tyra?” “Yeah, down the third aisle.” “Third aisle.”Continue reading “Pathology Lab”
Hans and Marguerita
Here came Hans Koblenz and Marguerita Semolina down the hall, as I rolled my cart toward Pathology to check the radiation levels on some prostate seeds. Marguerita looked fit and healthy in her blue culottes and chest binder. Hans wore his competition squash outfit; a tight jet black cotton and spandex twill with rising sun,Continue reading “Hans and Marguerita”
Youth Sports
My kids played several sports, with varying amounts of success. One of the early fails was a town judo league run in the community center; the same building as the library and courthouse. Son 1 was about 5 at this time, and my wife, Jaime, was not working, so she brought him to the practiceContinue reading “Youth Sports”
Going On Record
I shared my account of my arrest, the same one I had sent to McMurphree, with Mr. Phycks. Just as he had asked for the day he took over my case before Judge Judgeson, Mr. Fix had been granted a “Probable Cause” hearing. It was the greatest thing I could have hoped for. In effect,Continue reading “Going On Record”
Death Rays Redux
“Good News!” I said to Dr. Tim Zieglerson, PhD, CHP the next day as I walked into his office. “My felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. Does that mean I can get my security clearance back?” “No, no, no,” he said, not looking up from his computer “not yet. Let’s let this go onContinue reading “Death Rays Redux”
Flag Football
I brought my son to community flag football that weekend. I was one of the two coaches for my son’s team. The irony wasn’t lost on me that I was out on bail for Felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon; Doorknob on my son, and yet here I was coaching his 8/9 year old flagContinue reading “Flag Football”
Surrounded by Attorneys
My first defense attorney, McMurphree, suggested I get a couple of “good guy” letters for the Judge from friends and neighbors. It just so happened that many of my acquaintances were in the legal profession. I knew several lawyers, attorneys, and an elected Judge through my kids’ many activities. Both my boys were in hockey,Continue reading “Surrounded by Attorneys”
