THE WEEK THAT WAS


 Last week, I reported that Chip was sick. He had pain in his ear that radiated down his jaw and up into a sinus cavity with total hearing loss and sleepless nights. SOMETHING SERIOUS. 


Four health professionals pointed tiny wands into his ear canal, scratched their heads and said the wrong things. For six days, he took prescription drugs, tried heating pads, ice packs and acupuncture. I suggested rubbing his ear with a dirty t-towel then burying it in the back yard at midnight then I remembered “No, that’s the treatment for warts.” 


I was no help at all.


On day #6, he got in the car to pick up yet another prescription, hit the Down garage door button instead of the Up and broke the door. That thing on top of cars? That looks a little like a shark fin? We don’t have one now. I can only get one radio station — FM. It plays polkas.


On day #7, he saw an Ear, Nose, Throat specialist. 


“Yep, you have a fungus growing in your ear.” The PA cleaned it out. Chip took pictures. It looked a little like pureed over-ripe mushroom. Instant cure! (He never gave the t-shirt thing a chance.)


Today’s New York Times says “good luck to newly elected President Biden but everything hinges on a cure for Covid 19. Nothing else much matters — getting the economy back on its feet, confronting solutions to racism, climate change, restoring dignity to the White House.” 


It occurs to me that maybe we haven’t gone to the right specialist.


“There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.” (James Baldwin)


Not everybody was thrilled about the national election outcome but I think there is plenty to be happy about: more women elected to public office than ever before including a transgender Congresswoman, four native American women, and in Oklahoma (my home state) a 27 year old binary-sexual person to the State legislature. (I had to look it up.) Stacey Abrams emerged as a powerful energy source, somebody everybody should want on their team! 


What to me are signs of evolution are — to some people —  signs of America’s growing pagan-satan-worshipping, socialistic depravity who lament (that’s a good civil word) that “this president was elected by women and blacks.” 


So? What’s your point?


Stay well and wash your hands.
