Me

''You are so brave ..."

I've been battling what appears to be a summer cold for the last 4-5 days.  The  Guinness Record people have been here, and once again marveled over my ability to survive  monster illness that would seem unsurvivable.   The actual notation, as it will appear in future editions of their catalog,  is  "the worst cold in the history of mankind and a lesser man would have succumbed to it, not  put his own dishes in the dishwasher and walked the dog."  [Ahem, you know who you are]. All this has left me cranky and somewhat lethargic.  I'm rather amazed that the two dozen or so news items I'd pegged for comment, but lacked the strength to  act upon,  are replaced with other items desperately in need of my commentary.  There are a lot of ratbastards out there, that's for sure, but as soon as I'm cured I'll smite them with a mighty smiter.  Thank you for your indulgence.
