images of fall. these made me smile:
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Okay, I'm a disease geek.
I find this charming.
And it's nice not to be the only one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a The Counter in the Miami airport. Rare burger with cranberries and plantains is delicious.
Now I need to kill time without thinking. Grrrr.

(Okay, I'm a disease geek. Don't get me started on the Plague.)
That reminds me that I really should read my copy of Gina Kolata's Flu, about the 1918 Influenza. It's shelved right next to Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague.
Yes, I'm a disease geek, too!

Pretty pictures. I love Fall. It's my favorite.
I've never heard of The Counter, but I think I approve of their burger offerings already.
I need to work for the next three hours straight, except for the occasional b.org sanity break.

I did my term paper for my British history class on the economic impact of the Black Death on medieval England--that's what got me started on the subject.
That, and my professor's notorious Rat Lecture which he gave every semester throughout his career. Since I had him for both History 101 and the Brit History class, I got to hear it twice. He went into detail about the rats he saw in the sewers of Milan that were the size of Maine Coon cats. Ugh.

I've heard - semi-jokingly - that syphilis was originally a disease of sheep.

Was back at the dentist today. For my planing and scaling. Before hand I took a lorazapam and during I blasted my iPod. Now that it is over, I can very honestly say it was much, much, much easier than I expected. I was in and out in an hour. My mouth doesn't hurt. And the hygenist complimented me on the progress I have made over the last week in improving my gum health.
I put in extra time yesterday, working 12 hours, and got up early today to get in 6 hours before the appointment so I could take the afternoon off, guilt free - figuing I'd be in misery. Now I have the afternoon off and I feel just dandy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad to hear it, Suzi!
I just got the worst apartment ad from a broker -- the place doesn't look good, there are only two pictures, it's above my price range, and the description of the location is geographically impossible. I don't feel that bad that I keep forgetting to send her my phone number now.
