Getting Back To GO! The Essay © 2017 Frederick J. Cowie, Ph.D. I have an addictive personality, among other personality flaws. As a kid, I was a MONOPOLY addict. None of my siblings (and I had ten) ever wanted to play with me, for I was no fun, I was way, way too serious, too focused, too much of a MONOPOLY whack job. Sound familiar? Well, I kept the idea of getting back to GO. Now, by Christmas 2017, I want to be back at GO: post-car-rollover, post-TBI-concussion, post anger/paranoia/double-vision/topographical-dysfunctions/loss-of-impulse-control/etc. “Holy nutcase, Batman!” I thought I was nuts before I rolled a car at seventy miles per hour at seventy years old. Then sweet-hey-zeus, came some scrambled cortices: pre-frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital. GO. Back to GO. That’s all I want. Back to my normal crazy. Back to positive cash flow. Back to daily routine. Back to GO. I don’t need Park Place and Boardwalk, I’ll settle for GO. #fredcowie #monopoly #backtogo #fredcowie #professionalartist #lastchancelifecoach #helenamontana
