Enough About Dirt
One of my friends grew quite weary of my constant refrain on Wednesday that I was as old as dirt. From him I received the following: (click on the thumbnail to read) I’ve got good friends, don’t I?

The Next Generation of Books
Now that I’m on yet another business trip, I’m rethinking something that I swore that I wouldn’t do: give up packing books and move to an e-book reader.

I Don’t Like Being A Patient
Yesterday I got admitted to the little hospital near me. This admission comes after two ambulance rides in the past week. All I can say is uncontrolled vomiting and pooping blood are both very, very bad things. I’ve got to get out of here soon. Zara’s birthday is tomorrow!
