Can't top the pork or the headlines. BUT: it seems my quadra wisdom tooth extraction went well, no complications (so far) and about a week to 10 days before playing again. And that, after all, is a real update! More or less...

I'm in Atlanta for work this week... well, not really *in* Atlanta, as much as I am in some suburb about 15 miles from downtown. Don't get me wrong, I like Atlanta! I'm just a little less than excited to be at a conference hotel with no car and nothing worth doing within walking distance.

I think it qualifies. Thank God. Here we were, closing in on 500 pages, and I despaired of ever getting an *actual* update! ;>)

I don't think there are any conference hotels in Rockmart and it's more than 15 miles from Atlanta anyway, but yes, there is not much else there either. Not even me or my son. And I don't know that he has played anything since aging out of Spirit. Can't even get him to go to TubaChristmas. I need to start practicing, it's almost Halloween. Oh, but there is a Wal-mart now.

I just got back from a parade competition where my high school kids put on a stellar performance! While they were just shy of that "Superior" rating, the band that marched today was not the same band that started this school year. They have blown my expectations clean out of the water! I couldn't be more proud!

Good for you! That is what it is all about - forget about the rating, these kids earned so much more.

Took a Z-Pack for an Upper Resp. infection and I'm still ugly as a train wreck. I thought anibiotics were supposed to clear these things up?

I began a reply, and then I realized you would be better off touching base with your prescriber's office for advice. There are too many possibilities to be dealt with by 'remote control.' They know you and you know them, so they're your 'go-to' guys.

Well, if a Z pack didn't work, how about a 6 pack?

Obviously, my humor wasn't broad enough. I am feeling much better and am still ugly enough to make a train take a dirt road. You have been up dated.

You just unleashed the retired physician in me, is all, Chuck. I try to restrain all such impulses, but my success rate is spotty at best. In all my years of practice I never met a hypochondriac, because even they get sick. Ergo, all complaints must be taken seriously. Old habits die hard. Next time you're gonna die in bed, buddy, cause I ain't helpin'. :lol:

I'm hoping I'm shot by a jealous husband when I'm 102. Old habits die hard here, too.

Just imagine how much ground you could cover if the other person were armed with a backpack pump sprayer full of gasoline.
