Banana-fana-fo

This is when you folks can be certain that I am either a ginormous loser or I simply love you too much. Those are the only two conclusions that can be drawn from be blogging at 9 PM on a Friday. Well, actually, there is one alternative. I will be attending Cirque du Soleil in the cities on Sunday.
Why does that cause me to be home right now? (Just play along like you were wondering.) You see, I still have to fulfill my workman's duties and so I will be taking care of business from dawn 'til dusk tomorrow. That will be ever so splendid. For that reason, I am spending a nice little evening here doing quite little. I almost feel like I am channeling Emily. Anyway, that is the price I must pay to attend such a spirited affair as the Circ (as I like to call it). I don't actually know which of their shows I am headed towards, but I will let you know. An artistic circus can't be a bad thing, can it?

Alright folks, lock up your dogs, there is a canine influenza virus traveling round. Okay, you don't have to sound the alarm quite yet; this stuff is only in three states. But it is on both coasts. I just can't figure out why NPR felt the need to waste a valuable Science Friday talking about this thing. Must be playing it up for the coastal yuppies with puppies.
Yes, I just did that.

Eat your fruits. This is my new, hip thang. I eat as much fruit as I can find. Unfortunately, my mother doesn't seem to know how to buy crisp apples and I left all of mine in Winona. I am left with nothing but bananas and grapes. Oh, I think there might be blueberries too. Those are loaded with antioxidants. Sorry, but, yeah, eat that stuff. I am your mother and I know what is best.

Say, how far did you travel today? Not in your car, in your mind. You can't get nearly so far away in your motor vehicle. I traveled back out to Montana today while watching the sunset. Good times. As a doctor, I recommend taking at least one trip each day. Preferably to a relaxing place, but if Vegas is your kind of game, feel free.

Peace.
