I Must Really Be Sick
by Steve West on July 4, 2014
Recent conversation with Brenda while recuperating in hospital:
Me: Hey, wanna hear a joke I made up? I'm gonna tell my RN the next visit she makes.
Brenda: Of course.
Me: A stethoscope walks into a bar and the bartender starts, "Did you hear the one about..." (Stethoscope interrupting) Yes!
Brenda: (laughing) That's pretty good.
I can't recall the last time Brenda actually endorsed an idiotic joke I either thought of or merely thought funny. I might be on my deathbed and she's comforting me the best she knows how.

I'm Too Young To Be Old
All of this landscaping has taken a serious toll on my aged body, apparently. I actually had to take a day off from work to recover from an aching back. When younger (twenties), I could chop a load of firewood blah blah blah. Go »Snowmageddonpocalypse 2016
Snowmageddonpocalypse 2016.Two feet of snow is a record for this date in DC? Go figure. Go »Book Autopsies
An artist named Brian Dettmer has a unique talent, at least I've never seen anything like it. Book autopsies in which he pares books to various levels and displays portions of their contents, words and illustrations, for an interesting perspective. Very clever. Go »Landscaping
It's too late now but I should have taken and posted a picture of my quaint (translation: small) front yard. Brenda and I (translation: Brenda) decided that in order to sell our house at a more attractive price, it should look more attractive to potential buyers. Makes sense, I guess.

I've always been a fan of Get Smart! and the funniest running gag for me was the use of the "cone of silence". This thing called a "pentaphone isolation space" brought that immediately to mind. Go »

That, or you're delusional from the pain meds. If so, enjoy the ride!
We're glad you're recovering. :-)
