My gold cocoon on wheels

true storiesBy charlotteanneJune 27, 20102 Comments

The last thing I wanted was to own and drive a minivan — a gold Dodge Caravan that looks identical to its two million or so brethren on the highway and in every parking lot in town. But it was what I needed. Four years and a few weeks ago when we bought the van,…

It’s my birthday, I’ll count if I want to

I’ve never been afraid to go places few women have gone before, and to take names and kick butt. Thanks to my father, I learned to rebuild the engine in a 1964 Dodge Dart so I had a car to drive in 1974. (I named it Rocinante and aimed it at windmills.) I won’t reiterate…

Caremark CVS delayed my mom’s cancer drugs

true stories, UncategorizedBy charlotteanneSeptember 27, 20092 Comments

Here’s what I wrote to them tonight after I found out from my dad that Caremark CVS has delayed my mom’s cancer medicine. They didn’t say why or what for. No explanation, just no delivery to the drugs that will help keep her alive – drugs to keep her white blood cells going. What in…

Inspired by design

We’ve chosen core components of the NOWCastSA home page, and it’s fair to say we’ve been inspired by the way some other folks have designed their sites. Here’s what we like and why. Because video is an important element of the site, we’d like to be able to feature it prominently. Perhaps it might look…

But what’s getting lost in the discussion is a very real record of some game-changing innovation and achievements. Progress, it seems to me,…

Crowdsourcing my mom’s cancer

crowdsourcing, true storiesBy charlotteanneAugust 24, 200915 Comments

My mom has always been our clan’s chief information hunter and learner. That is, until last week, when she was diagnosed with a rare cancer: Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia. Mom was a medical research librarian – someone who delighted in being a generous resource for journalists like me. I remember her describing the day in 1981 or…
