What passes for normal service will be resumed... whenever


So, here's the deal, I'm not actually writing this post. Correction, I am actually writing this post, I'm just not actually typing this post. My good wife (of whom I can say nothing wrong) is actually typing this for me, the reason being I am lying flat on my back on an inflated bed that my good wife (of whom I can say nothing wrong) has installed in our living room. The reason I am lying flat on my back on an inflated bed in the living room is that I've done my back in picking up messages (i.e. groceries) for my good wife (of whom I can say nothing wrong). And I've been this way for the past five days. And it doesn't look as if it is getting any better. So, tomorrow's post won't be going up as I can't dictate all the formatting and the links to my good wife (of whom I can ay nothing wrong) without actually looking at the text. Once I can actually sit up for any length of time "I'll be back" to quote the governor of California. [He dictated the great Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I didn't want to have to look up the spelling. Ms. Ed] For the duration comments moderation will be turned off but don't expect any responses for a day or two or three.

  3. Sorry to hear, be pain-free soonest.

    (And I couldn't but smile a few times during the reading of this post, the humorous irony of your Kafkaesque plight leaked through and was well-typed by your lovely mate, of Whom I too can say nothing wrong.) :)

    The Governator would be proud,
