View Article  Happy birthday tomorrow, kiddo
Butthead, where are you?  I don't have a current email address for you.  I know it's your birthday tomorrow because it's my nephew's, as well.  Have been wanting to say hello.

View Article  A wee bit of advice

If a doctor tells you your new medication has an anticholinergic effect, and you don't really need it, just say no. Or ask for something similar without that effect.

I just stopped taking one (not one of the ones listed, and my doctor said it was OK) and I am so, so so much happier.

View Article  Hello Sleepy

I flew 500 miles and back yesterday.  Sadly not to Boston, though I would not have had time to see anyone anyway, I had four appointments in various towns where I was.

Oof tired.  Flying takes a lot out of me in general.  Trying to drink a lot of water today, dehydration is part of the equation.

Someone I know through my job has DVT.  I don't think I fly enough for that, but then, he didn't think so either.

View Article  Much crazedness

Crazedness, by the way, at least in my mind, has three syllables.

I do not think April could have been busier thus far.  I am hoping to get a little time to relax this weekend.  The weather is supposed to be great - maybe we will go take a nap in the park.  We have done this, near the restaurant - there are lots of people around, but no one bothers you.

Last night I talked to a friend I've known since 1990, but hadn't spoken to since sometime in 2000 (this is our best estimation).  We talked for an hour; you can't really describe seven years in an hour, but we did our best.  Current situations took up a lot of time - we both live in different cities from the one where we spent time together, we're both in relationships, we both have very different jobs, etc.  But she immediately knew my voice, and hers is a little different from what I remember, but the laugh is still exactly the same.  I have wondered about her a lot over the time we didn't speak.  We had a lot of intense experiences early on.  Please don't torture her for info about me.  Heh.  I'm sure she feels the same way.

By the way, I forgot to mention last night that I am sorely tempted to use our old joke, "Maybe I was (word deleted)," reasonably often.  Too bad everyone but you and Phil would be shocked and appalled.
