The tetanus booster still hurts, or at least the puncture does. Yes, overseas holidays come with all kinds of hidden costs, in addition to the flight tickets and accommodation. There are the trio of travel insurance, vaccinations and spending money, as well as the abject fear of flying to contend with. Oh, if only there were ferries to Florida...
This may be more of a waterfall of a blog post, as the lateness causes all kinds of less frequently connected neurons to fire. Yes, anything might happen! Did you know that the world really is a soap bubble in the great basin that is the universe? No? Really? Perhaps you'd like to buy this bridge I happen to need to unload in New York...
It's a curious ability to be able to pound out words and have them make sense. Perhaps it's the tetanus booster, or the novelty of having seen 'funny money' (US dollars) for the first time. They do look like board game money, but they're also rather more attractive than the British money. It's nice to have those different presidents, instead of the one Queen. Good grief, it will be strange when that figure finally changes on our currency...
In other diversions, the first season of 'Sports Night' is proving as good as I remember, Freud's book on 'Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious' is technically very interesting, and 'An American Yankee In King Arthur's Court' continues... and continues... Never have I tried to read a classic story with such persistent 'put downs' as this. It seems to be twice as long as it needs to be. Maybe I'm just not used to reading any more?
Oh, Miami, you had better be mildly weathered and exceedingly beautiful... There had better not be alligators hiding under my bed, and no nurses waiting with even more vaccinations! At least my lips didn't swell up, my arm didn't bloat up into a Popeye lookalike, and there was no fainting. Thank you, world for small mercies, and the great privilege of being able to travel.
