While I'm sure the war was stressful, it's not that surprising for a man of 63 who has been seriously disabled for 30 years and smokes and drinks to be in poor health, especially with circulation problems. (um, wrt Roosevelt.) But all the online biographies say the war killed him. How do they know?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think it's just anecdotal stuff - "He aged so rapidly during the war," and what-not.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

It's more poetical to say that than to say, "Dude never washed behind his ears. Eventually, that caught up to him."
Yes, people, the insinuating influence of Spielberg-itis. I would blame the History Channel, but they always spent more time on Churchill anyway.
My health insurance isn't bad, but, it's amazing how quickly flex-spending money gets used up, isn't it? All those copays just disappear my ability to buy new glasses.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a weird health insurance. But I think I like it. No copays are very handy--the FSA comes into effect for larger stuff. And I do have the not-huge but not-small stuff. It's not like I ever have to worry about whether or not I'll hit my deductible in any given year--I hit my maximum out of pocket about 2/3 of the way through.
Speaking of which, gotta go see a man about a pain.

Okay, Zillow is estimating that my mother's house on Caspe Cod has increased 9.8% in value since she bought it September 30. That's nice, I think. If insane. (They don't even know about the fact that she got a new septic system and painted it!)

Zillow doesn't work for my county. Stupid zillow.

I have always wondered about more flights flying from Florida to South America. In my head, it was because.... I don't know, something related to business.
The truth is, I wonder if it is just the carriers run fewer routes from the US and those that do have traditionally gone through Florida. There's no technological reason why it works out that way.
Hell. I can't get a nonstop flight from National to Burbank.
David, congrats on the book! Very exciting to send the contract.
