On that date, a brain aneurysm ruptured. The events that unfolded were shocking and scary to my friends and family. Of course, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week the mail carrier delivered my newsletter from the National Brain Aneurysm Foundation, which is based near Boston, MA. As I flipped through it, my attention was caught by two stories that outlined current research into brain aneurysms.
I already knew about the work being done at Yale. Research there involves genetics and the identification [...]]]></description>

A couple weeks ago, I saw a young man I know. Call him Mike. He is handsomely cute, funny, and remarkably insightful.  This 20-something “kid” (my words) is also blessed with an envious amount of shiny, wavy hair which is the color of a rich [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about Jello. A couple friends have had stomach issues, so I brought them some. Another friend just had surgery and her hospital food tray came with a dish of it—just like many of my own food trays did when I was at the National Brain Aneurysm Center.
Frankly, Jello is [...]]]></description>

About a week before I was discharged from the ICU at the National Brain Aneurysm Center, a quiet doctor with warm and twinkling eyes entered my room. He was there, he said, to assess my brain function [...]]]></description>

December blew by in a rush. Cookie baking. Some pre-holiday gatherings.  Cookie baking.  Holiday decorating. Cookie baking. Cleaning and furniture rearrangement.  Cookie baking. Snow shoveling. Vile flu and a headache that lasted eight days. Cookie baking. Pre-surgery preparation.  Holiday celebration. Eldest and youngest sons swooping in to “help.”  Finally the much-anticipated highlight: my [...]]]></description>
