Welcome to the third in a series of conversations with Mighty Casey Quinlan of Healthcare is Hilarious fame. We both take the raw audio file and publish our production. Casey published her version last week entitled Altered States. Mine is called Normal — a Dryer Setting. We used each other’s words with different perspectives on the same conversation. Fortunately, we’re both doing better than we were a few weeks ago. The prednisone erased my debilitating pain, I bought a new stand for my baritone sax, so I don’t carry the weight around my neck through my spine. I graduated from 5 minutes a session to 30 minutes at a time, even rehearsing with my band last night, and changed position with each tune. I’m walking better, though my altered state allows for less distance than before. I stopped taking a medication that dropped me into despondency. Life is good.

In addition to at the end, upfront, let me thank Joey van Leeuwen who creates the amazing music for my podcast, and Kayla Nelson, who serves as my web/social media coach and produces the video trailers for my podcast. You transform me good to great. Now for Casey and my musings.
