    About this ebook

    Tensor's melancholia threatened to disturb the entire citizenry, and that was most uncivil! So—if these peculiar aliens caused him this distress, by provoking his intellectual curiosity, the remedy was for him to investigate them to his complete satisfaction.... Thus, in this manner, did Tensor get well—and did he learn a bit too....

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      What My Stroke Taught Me

      Apr 6, 2017

      The administrator's concern amused Tensor and, as his mood lightened, the drizzle abated and the sky became clear again.

      I'm sorry, he apologized sincerely. But I just seem to be having trouble lately. Ever since the aliens came.

      Yes sir.

      Perhaps you've been working, or exerting yourself in some other foolish way. Maybe you're tired and should take something.
