Yes, would do it again. Made a huge difference in my ability to breathe. I felt like I could run 10 miles. On the downside, some of the benefit has dissipated over about 20 years.

I feel for you. Been there. Had a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, septoplasty, and turbinoplasty all at once. After a week when I could remove the gauze pads from inside my nose along with a tube in one nostril (in case of swelling, kept airway open), OMG THE AIR JUST RUSHES IN AND OUT! I CAN BREATHE!

My objection handler: (spoken humorously) You know, if WWIII starts, it won’t make a difference. Why not go ahead with it now and be happy for as long as the world exists?
He bought.

Take out the roll and and wind it up. The name of the song is printed usually in purple ink at the beginning of the roll.

Ducks are indeed bipedal. They walk on the land. They swim underwater. They float on top of the water. They fly in the sky.

1960 Disneyland. On the Alice in Wonderland ride, the flower that leans over toward your car and honks terrified me and gave me nightmares for weeks. Some years later, riding it again, I see that flower and it's wuh? Not the least bit scary. Made me realize perceptions can change.

A couple of space aficionados have informed me that the 601 error code was an inside reference to the 1202 alarm experienced by the Apollo 11 astronauts during descent to the moon when their flight computer overloaded.

Took 30 years and the invention of the internet to get another copy of this one.

Everyone was looking for OJ that afternoon. I was at the cemetery in Lake Forest where Nicole was buried thinking OJ might show up there. Turns out I was right but timing was wrong. He had already left and was on the freeway northbound.

Another great example of an author narrating their own book is High Sierra by Kim Stanley Robinson. Sounds more like he’s just telling a story to you personally rather than reading words on a page.

Another plus are audiobooks that are read by the author. So much more meaning comes through. For example Anthony Fauci’s autobiography On Call. His voice, inflection, and the way he stresses certain words add so much.

I can easily “read” more books than I would otherwise. In the car, walking, hiking, gardening - times when holding a book isn’t practical. Apple AirPods and Spotify make audiobooks a dream.

Early 70’s, I used to bicycle all the way around Disneyland. Sometimes there were interesting things you could see through the fence, especially along West St. Can’t remember specifics anymore.

I'm such a big fan of Exotica. I guess it's because as a kid in Southern California during the 60's when all the aerospace engineers and their new families threw backyard barbecues with tiki torches playing Arthur Lyman, Martin Denny, Les Baxter and others on their new Hi-Fi sets.

Just found this one of me and the President taken at the library back in 2017. I don’t take a back seat to anyone.

At my place in Vista, lightning to thunder was half a second, so a few hundred feet away. Then big fat drops for 5 minutes leading to heavy rain. “Ma, we got a gully washer!”

OK, at the risk of getting sidetracked a bit, Kevin Costner was in my English class at Villa Park HS. He’s 2 years older but to make my schedule work, they put me in the ‘English for Jocks’ class. He was on the baseball team and lived and breathed baseball, hence Bull Durham and Field of Dreams.
