hmph. third night in a row of being sick, and in 3 nights i've missed 4 shows. and not just shows, but i'm missing friends and companions and all those life-enriching variables. which means i'm isolated in a cold room and quite cantankerous indeed. worse yet, since yesterday, my condition has worsened....in medical parlance, "deteriorated."
but the way i see it, maybe my number was up. i never get sick. counting the genetics from both sides of my family (where nobody dies before 85 and many zoom past 100), i've relied on a quite robust immune system. picture my delicate innards as housed away in a castle, with a white blood cell citadel outlining sheer reinforcements and state-of-the-art stealth weaponry patrolling the map. it's done well by me in the past, that's fersure. and it goes without saying that what i have now must be some sort of super-illness, capable of infiltrating enemy lines---probably through the old achilles' heel, the nasal cavities. a worthy adversary, to be sure.
alright. stay tuned for next post: "mister ben takes a field trip to hospice care!"
