BOOOOOOOO!

The end of the Arizona/St. Louis game had me booing the officials. BOOOOO! The ref asked St. Louis wether they wanted to accept the a penalty. They declined, which set up a free kick for Arizona. Realizing this, St Louis changed their mind and the officials let them. Hello? St. Louis was asked, and already […]

Bad Idea

Can we agree now that the invasion of Iraq was a bad idea? Nothing that the Administration said would happen has happened: There were no WMD. Saddam had no ties to Al Qaeda. We weren’t greeted as liberators. Fighting them there hasn’t made us safer here. Democracy hasn’t “flourished” in Iraq or been a good […]

Slow Recovery

I’m slowly getting better. I’m still congested, but at least I’m off the steroids. I’ve still got the awesome horse decongestants and I still sound pretty bad.

Worse timing ever!

The Perils of Pneumonia

According to the x-ray they took today, I have a “shadowy abnormality” in my lungs that looks like pneumonia (or my lungs are haunted). So, it’s more steroids, antibiotics and rest. Rest includes bad movies, television, cup-o-noodle and split pea soup (my favorite “I’m sick” meal). My ribs are a mess, as is my right […]
