There are weeks in the calander I can pretty much guess the bugs get into the house - the first thaw, whenever I plan a winter holiday and right after school begins. Things done:
- Found 1240 WATN AM Watertown which seems to be an unaffilliated talk station with the Mayor of Watertown as noon hour host. Low wattage, nice and unstructured, people phoning in to talk about normal day-to-day stuff as well as new and no accusatory shouting.
- Read a chuck of the beer book Mel gave me. Who knew that Oland's beer was founded by a matriarch, Suzannah Oland, whose story is a heck of a lot more interesting than Alexander Keith's.
- Emailed back and forth with Lew Bryson about his books and whether the Delaware one would be out for a summer 2005 trip down the shore. He said it would be.
- Did not watch or listen to coverage of the national health conference.
- Snoozed.
Suggestions for the balance of the day between doses of over the counter symptom beating pharmacuticals?
Update: ultimate revival tonic? Tiger Balm Ultra. A tenth of an inch coating over the entire body just about does it.

I am starting to worry about you Al - are you taking your vitamins?
Alan - September 14, 2004 3:00 PM
...Yup but I am just taking the bugs at elementary school, too.

Craig, you can worry for Myrick.

Add to the what-to-dos that I got a real letter and sent a real letter in return. With stuff. Big fat package.

Poor Myrick - does not bear contemplation.

I do not know Myrick, but it all sounds painful and makes us grateful for relatively benign bugs. It is, however, a joy to encounter someone who doesn't believe the light shines OUT his arse ...

By the way, you two, get your colonoscopies. I did after a family member had the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Be cheered by the fact that the technicians at the hospital in Charlottetown are nice looking ladies...as they do the unmentionable to you.

My wife says I don't have to. Well, not in so many words. What she really says is "You're a perfect asshole". That's a clean bill of health if I ever heard one ...

Ahh, Tiger Balm does cure all. It is the greatest export Singapore has ever produced.
Best,
Myrick (who is again sitting comfortably)

Gents - it is time to change the subject (shudder)

That slamming sound we all heard was Bub's sphincter ....
