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.
