  • Slippery Brown Slope

    Gary threw his back out while we were packing for the cruise. “Well, that’s it. I can’t go.”“Okay then! See you in a week.” He realized that would not fly TWO years in a row. (Instead, he was a trouper and brought along his cane and back brace.) In Gary’s world, pain and illness are…
