I Don’t Want To Go On The Cart! … But I’m Getting Better!
I find it ironic that I've received a whole bunch of feedback — including from my neighbor telling me that she and her boyfriend "were cracking up" — about yesterday's post discussing how miserable I felt. Indeed, I hesitated posting about my illness in the first place because I was afraid of getting heckled by TK and Chez in response to my commentary about how nice the weather currently is down in Miami as opposed to Boston and NYC, respectively.
In contrast, not one person has commented on, or even inquired as to the somewhat more coherent posts I did from the other day quoting from Jorge Luis Borges' "Collected Fictions," and describing a drug-resistant bacteria infecting wounded US soldiers in Iraq.
Okay, I get it, I get it - "dance, monkey, dance!"
Matt: I’m the author of the article in Wired about bacteria infecting U.S. troops that you linked to. I not only very much appreciated the link, I laughed out loud — albeit with a sense of black humor — when I read your headline “And Next Week In Iraq - Frogs and Locust.” I got a lot of links for the article, but your headline was definitely my favorite. So thanks!
Thanks Steve. I appreciate the compliment, and I very much enjoy your writing and choice of topics, myself.
Thanks, Matt. Sorry for forgetting to close the link. Feel free to correct that, after the word “troops,” if you can. But no worries. Thanks again.
