"Cassius is no more..."
Julius Caesar, Act V, Scene 3, Line 60.
"I'm too pretty to be beat! I'm so pretty, I can't possibly be beat!"
A writer for Time magazine called it 'a telescoped course in the power of positive thinking'.
RIP Muhammed Ali...
Came home sick from work. Anyone care to keep me company?
I promise I won't infect you...
Reply to "It wasn't the mother's fault" - IT WASN'T THE GORILLA'S FAULT, EITHER!
They killed that beautiful gorilla.
I've always loved unfairly maligned animals; gorillas, wolves, you name it.
So far, the only punishment handed down in this fiasco was to the one creature who committed no wrongdoing. Shit, we humans do love to dodge blame, don't we?
Question about moon-landing deniers: Why is it so all-fire important to them to believe that we
never landed on the moon, and instead just faked the whole thing?
Why do so many of them devote their lives to spreading, believing, and defending such an absurd idea?
Just saw another one of them on Facebook, and it prompted me to ask.

"More of your conversation would infect my brain."
Coriolanus, Act II, Scene 1, Line 93.
Friday night wine-buzz. Any night owls still up?
Buzzing on a very nice Zinfandel. I rarely drink this variety. It has a rather pedestrian reputation. But this one is terrific; spicy, bold, got a nice kick. I'm liking it...
I think my support for Hillary has cost me some friends in the Lounge.
Hardly anyone replies to my posts anymore...
To Hell with it. I'm voting for Hillary anyway...
I just scheduled my Physician Assistant Recertification Exam.
June 30th.
Time for the nail-biting to begin.
And the studying. Can't forget the studying...
Friday Night Beer-Buzz. All out of wine tonight. Need some Lounge vibes...
Got a death notice today from the family member of a patient. Just date of death, no cause yet.
Also (Jesus, also!...) diagnosed a patient today with Stage IV chronic kidney disease. We're getting her right in to treatment with a nephrologist. I had my staff burning up the phone lines to get her an opening. I held her hand for a while as she cried; told her she is going to be taken care of. She was smiling by the time she left.
I'm futzed that I don't have enough booze on hand to get really good and smashed...
Thank you for being here.
I love you all...
