Wednesday's Dispatch

• Something I nearly hate about myself: I cannot remember the name of my company commander in Iraq. I can only recall his very derogatory nic name.


• Zachary is sick so I have him. I have a weird thing about him when he is sick. In a sense, I worry less- between his older siblings and my nursing experience, I pretty well know what to do to get him better, but I'm somehow more fearful- as if I'll lose him since he's the baby.


• He's wearing Transformers underwear.


• He pronounces underwear, wunnerwears.


• From alcohol and cigarette abuse to bad food, to sedentary lifestyles, we have a medical system that no matter what else you believe about access thereof, allows us to live longer than ever before- in spite of ourselves.


• Whenever I'm sick I always take a store brand Nyquil type product and when I've had to give up and go to the doc I always get griped out about it by him. I'm still a believer in it though if not contraindicated. For cold or flu I take Nyquil eat chicken soup drink OJ and rest.


• Oh, and sometimes tomato soup and grilled cheese are on the menu.


• Mmmmm cheesy and soupy.


• Ace Guillen musical standup time travels back to the 90s.
