So, you might’ve heard there’s a new flu in town. This is totally unlike me, and probably means that we should all be just as afraid as everyone seems to be, but I am not at all concerned with the swine flu. Oh sure, I had a bad day or two at the very beginning,Continue reading “Even I Can Only Get So Concerned About the Flu”

Sicker Than That, Even
Recently, like everyone else on earth, I have been sicker than I’ve ever been before. It started out a month ago with the flu, which turned into bronchitis. Then I went to get my allergy shots, had a weirdo reaction and wound up with a giant arm. This was bad, because it looked like oneContinue reading “Sicker Than That, Even”

TheContinue reading “The Plague”
Lazy Saturday
I have to wonder what the people at the Mexican place think when I order food for delivery. The restaurant is literally 50 feet from my house, and I generally answer the door in my pajamas. Should I become a serial killer, I’m pretty sure that they would be the people who buck the trendContinue reading “Lazy Saturday”
