I have two health updates today. First, at this very moment, I am recovering from an explosive bout of stomach something or other. I don’t know what I ate to bring that on, but I sure want to avoid it ever again.

In addition, my white count numbers are good and my other immune system markers are pretty good too. All in all, a lousy morning but a very good month.
