Check-up.

Visit to Dr. Fear this morning for annual checkup.

He said I was 8 lbs (128 oz, .57 stone, 3638 grams) over the last time I visited him.

Me: Really?

He:  Yeah.

I was heavily into marathon training at the time, so there's that, but I didn't think I had added so much.  Maybe it's muscle mass (swimming miles now, bike-century-training, etc.).

Or maybe it's time for (Monty Python Spanish Inquisition "Dah Nah!!") The Sacred Heart Memorial Cabbage Soup Recipe.

At pg. 435 in Ulysses, looking forward to the slim 300 pg. Pale Fire.

Tweedy – High As Hello

Huh, first I'd heard of this: Tweedy & Son have a new album coming out. Here they are like a buncha hobos playing in a state park tunnel with drums made out of trash.
