Battling Illness

I’m a huge fan of Airborne. They are Alka-Seltzer like tablets that you drop into water and then drink the resulting cloudy, bubbly water that results. They are great for when you feel like you are getting sick. We go through a lot of them in our house.

I wasn’t going to post anything else today but came across this blog by Dilbert author, Scott Adams. In it, he recounts his experience chewing what I assume to be an Airborne tablet. He apparently was only able to down about half of it before it beat him. That’s weak.

My first experience with Airborne was also waterless. I chewed it and, to my great surprise, started foaming purple foam from my mouth. My tongue also felt extremely tingly for about an hour but I ate the whole thing without complaint or death. It was rather cool actually and made me quite popular at work for the five minutes that I was foaming.

I’m Getting Older

Today is my birthday. I say that not in an attempt to get birthday wishes, I say it to get presents. Lots of big, expensive presents. Actually, I just wanted to share some random thoughts about some of the things that I’m noticing about myself as I get older.

First off, my hair is starting to go gray. Honestly, that’s really no big deal to me. I’ve had gray hairs in my beard for a few years now. The fact that it’s now showing up on my head is really of no concern.

Speaking of hair, I’ve started growing it in strange places. A few months ago, I was scratching my back and felt a long hair on it. I assumed that it was one of Holly’s that had been affixed to the inside of my shirt through the magic of static cling. I was wrong. It was attached to the middle of my back through the magic of hair growth. I pulled it out and discovered, to great surprise, that it was about four inches long and white. That’s not right.
