Just the other day, I got a call from my doctor’s office, informing me that my doctor wanted to try a new treatment on me for my general health. So, I asked the nurse what this new treatment was. She went on to tell me that the doctor wanted to “stare at me” for a spell. I said OK. I got excited about this new treatment and told the nurse to give me a few days to prepare for my office visit. I told her I needed to get a bath and a shave, buy some new cologne, maybe my favorite, Brut. The nurse went on to ask me why I planned to make all these changes. I told her that if the doctor gave me “a good staring at,” I might identify with it really good and stare back at him. I will be going in to see him in a few days. Oh, I did ask the nurse if I could bring in a cherry pie for me and the doctor to eat while we were staring at each other (smirk) Frankie The Earthman.
