wrong again

The previous post turns out not to be the last hand one, after all.

I saw the doctor yesterday.

I wonder how long it'll take to get back to speed, as it were...)

Of course, I should get my bike tuned up, but with Shavuot tomorrow night, I don't have time for extra errands this week..

"Some of my best pages are uneven," said one popular novelist who wished to remain anonymous..
