Top Ten List

After last week’s “Karma” post, one of the comments (thanks Bryant!) said that I have great karma because I have persevered and that I am living my life, teaching, and raising kids. Everyone goes through tough times in life, and maybe it’s better not to think of “karma” as something that comes back to you, but as something you give out instead. In that spirit, this week’s blog is meant to make you laugh.

If you don’t think it’s funny, well, at least I made myself laugh!

10 best things about having a brain tumor

10. I can tell small children that I was attacked by a shark. They believe me and they think I’m cool!

9. People don’t complain to me as much about trivial problems.

8. People think I’m drunk anyway, so, why not drink?

7. I have no need to go to an amusement park–riding on an elevator gives me the same rush as a roller-coaster!

6. Rock star parking.

5. I get to say, “It’s not like it’s brain surgery,” and mean it!

4. I can write a new book called “the Brain Tumor Diet” and make a fortune!

3. I can fall into things and watch people around me looking at me like I’m crazy because I’m usually laughing! We went to lunch at a restaurant in Monterey, and I tripped and fell as I walked in the door. I tripped over the step and fell-right into a high chair! Rented surrey: $40; lunch: $25; the look of surprise on the parents of the baby whose high chair I destroyed: priceless!

2. I can use my cane as a weapon-and even bring it on an airplane!

1. If I say or do something stupid, I have an excuse!
