Samples from the big list of worries


Mom taught me to worry. And she's a good teacher.

I've been sharing worries with a lot of folks for years. In fact, I've built up quite a list. On a biz trip to Seattle this past December, Treff at work asked me for the full list. So I gave him what I had to date. For you, for now, here's just a sampler of some highlights. (Feel free to add comments for new ones.)


  • Choke on pizza, linguini or fettuccini (22)
  • Footcramp while swimming to get rescued at sea (23)
  • Poison Oak (41)
  • Fall from a tall building (42)
  • Head of a Q-tip falling breaking off in my head (43)
  • Snubbed by Susan Sarandon, Joan Allen or Annette Bening (44)
  • PA invades NJ from west to grab coastline; less worrisome, NY grabs piece of CT that juts out into Westchester (Greenwich). (45)
  • Benzene in Perrier (yes, still) (46)
