Baby Graham



One of my work colleagues is having a baby soon; and yesterday he received a rather Purimesque baby shower.

Strange.

I am feeling a bit out-of-sorts today. I also had a rather disturbing just-before-you-wake-up nightmare in which I woke up due to the alarm clock, and saw red petichiae on my arm. I was horrified as this meant that I would need to probably rush to the emergency at the Hospital.

But then the actual alarm went off, and I woke up and there were no little pink dots.

All in all, a horrible way to start the day. And I feel uggy. I think I will go and check my platelet count on my way home. I have had a headache for almost a week and a half now.

Blechhhhh.

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
