Expecting the Worst

Good morning. I've deleted the nonsense and kept the good stuff from Friday night, as usual. But there is a problem: I can't save the blog on my computer. The last version I was able to save ended with 'Stoned Barracudas.' I noticed the problem Friday night also. Another thing I noticed Friday night was the beginnings of a sore throat.

Saturday's hangover was amplified by a sore throat, slight fever, and gassing on what I would call a 'sadistic level.' They continued on that high level through Saturday night, all day Sunday, Monday, and Monday night. So far this morning it has been minimal. I presume the high gassing level indicates that the old fish is not pleased with the way this blog is going. Very good! (It will only go downhill from here, mr. fish. Better buy more gas.)

And speaking of gas they are now using a new type. Apparently this one is available in large quantities like 'heavy gas.'

A visit to my HMO Monday afternoon got me a quick appointment with a nice Jewish fella who told me it was a virus, not strep. I much preferred my usual physician but she was beginning a two week vacation Monday and was not available.

I was pleasantly surprised by this fellow. Based on my previous encounters with Jewish doctors I was expecting the worst.
