It’s something I never expected, dreamed of nor wished for, but it is very practical and actually quite functional, not just for looks. For all intents and purposes, I am getting a new nose. My old one has served me quite well all these years, but it’s time for a change. Last July, I emerged from the community pool with a sunburnt nose and a particular red spot that would not go away, no matter what lotions and potions I put on it. It didn’t hurt and it didn’t itch. I went to my family doctor, who sent me to a dermatologist. The bad news is that it was basal cell melanoma, not all that uncommon in the Sunshine state. The good news: it’s among the least aggressive and non-invasive forms of cancer. I visualized myself leafing through a nose catalogue to choose my next schnoz. Should I go for the Owen Wilson, the Albert Einstein, or the Patrick Dempsey? In my twenties I’d been compared to Paul Newman. Maybe I could opt for his nose and recover my youth. I finally decided that I want a silver nose like the one Lee Marvin sported in “Cat Ballou.” Actually, it doesn’t really matter as long as it has two nostrils and can draw breath. Likely they’ll just restore the one I have, possibly with scars. If so, I’ll just tell everyone I got them during a sword fighting competition. “You should see the other guy!” Mike Wright’s wife is coulrophobic and refuses to let him substitute the nose he bought at Walgreen’s for “Red Nose Day.” If you want it, please contact him.
