The good news is that the orthopedist thinks I'll make a complete recovery. The bad news is that this will take time. The minimum time it will take me to recover is two weeks; he's written an official note to that effect. In the meantime, he's prescribed rest, with no pressure on my coccyx. That pretty much…
Counting the hours until the appointment with the orthopedist. I've barely managed to control the pain with some leftover pills, but those will run out soon. I could also spend time counting my blessings: medical insurance, a good workplace, a healthcare system that will support me. It's a little harder when you're in pain, but it's better…
A addendum to my last post: he Doctor said I should be given some ibuprofen. The Hostess found a bottle. The Doctor asked, "How many milligrams of ibuprofen are in each pill?"

Today I learned that Yin Au, an engineer worked at Nevis Labs for 30 years, passed away at the age of 96. Today I learned that Emily, whom I’ve known for about 15 years (give or take) is heading to the hospital to give birth. Obviously people are entering and leaving this world all the time. It’s…
The web site on which I originally posted this review is being retired. Since I often refer to this game in my reviews, I decided to archive that review here. TL;DR: This game sucks rubber donkey lungs. Now I've definitely finished playing Batman: Arkham Knight! Here's the review I posted to Amazon: Batman: Arkham Knight left me…
I am going to a gaming party on Saturday June 27; that’s tomorrow as I write this. I’m going to wear a kilt. The problem is that I own three. Please help me choose which one to wear. Here are my choices. The links will take you to the closest image I could find of the kilt…
