Personal:

They got me...

    By Jack Grant

...those French germs, that is. This is the first time I've been sick with a cold in quite a while, years actually. Sadly, my regimen of Scotch consumption apparently didn't work in repelling or destroying these sneaky bastards.

I did miss a few days of having Scotch there this week, hmmm.....

Well, anyway, I'm a bit achy, and I have a sore throat along with nasal drainage causing the said issue with the throat. I don't have a thermometer to take my temperature, and they only sell aspirin in tiny packages here that you have to ask for from the pharmacist, not just pick up a mondo-sized bottle of 500 pills off a shelf, so I'm rationing my meagre supply. Hopefully I won't go all feverish and hallucinatory and start posting pictures of my feet or something.

If you'd like a CARE package of aspirin and Vitamin C, email your snail mail addy to me and I'll send some.

As an incorrigible Crown Royal drinker myself, might I postulate that the cause of your malady might not be that you missed a day of Scotch-drinking, but that you drank it in the first place?

I mean, the last time I was a bit achy and had a sore throat, I'd drank Scotch the night before. Don't recall what happened between the Scotch-drinking and the achyness and sore throat, though.

We don't handle randomness well.

Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
