My cold lingered into last week. Since it had been one week too many, I went to see my assigned health care professional. At this point I was given a script for antibiotics and instructions to consume probiotics. Well, the good news is that my original cold symptoms have all but abated. Unfortunately, the antibiotics have waged a savage war with my digestive system. Being the good patient, I have…
I am faced with a serious dilemma. I was given some cold, hard cash for my birthday. As dilemmas go, this one doesn’t sound too bad so far. It’s not getting money that is so bad, but deciding what to do with it. I am torn between prudent, responsible choices and … well … not so prudent or responsible choices.

My mouth is watering. My stomach is making noise, the kind that other people can hear. Foods that I would not otherwise like seem… palatable. Even cheese.
Yeah, no… I’ve got to take that one back. No coagulated sour milk for me please.
The time has come for some serious hunting and gathering. With the comforts of 21st century society, no tools are necessary. All I need is the…
Yesterday, I was feeling unwell. Today, I am feeling less unwell. This cold has been an absolute blast and all, but I’m ready for the day when I don’t need to give Cheryl the daily report on the color of my ejecta.
