Justine and I started a 6 week introduction to Zen meditation course at the Houston Zen Center last week.

Justine and I have been battling a horrific bout of stomach flu (see photo above of an unknown college drunkard and you will kow how we felt all weekend). I have been consuming nothing but water for the last 2 days and have finally eaten some chicken broth today.

I said, “No problem. Have a good day.”
The Germ-lady (not yet know [...]

Typhoid Mary, my lovely fiance’, and I have a very lethargic drug-filled weekend ahead of us. And not the fun “I partied with the Beatles in 1969″ drug-filled weekend.
Living under the hazy whore-like spell of over-the-counter cold medicine has forced me to consider a new career in pharmaceutical sales.

We’ve been fighting the same cold for several days now (nearly a week for me).
