Went in for my annual physical and as is often the case with such things, there is good news and bad news. To start with the major bad news, and when this happens to someone of my stature it can only be termed major bad news, the fact is that I'm shrinking. No, not in the way that I'd guess most of us get spam offering to remedy that. Just simple height. And short as I have always been, peaking at 5'6.5", it seems I am now 5'5.5". So now I can fondly look back to the days when I was not just faster and smarter but also taller. My dad lost about 4" by the time he was done, so I guess I'm headed for 5'2".

Next, the minor bad news. I had thought because of my medical adventure over the past year that I could dispense with the annual DRE, but that was not to be, though at least this time it was not so painful. As expected, there was no prostate to be found, just, as the doc said, a divot.

And the good news? I still have a pulse.

Up along the river (route). Sluggish as usual.

I think the right state of mind for Sunday's Billygoat will be mellow. Seems the only reasonable option.
