I’m slowly, slooooowly crawling out of the spongy lung-slurry and finding my way to the light. I’m back at the desk today doing some work (yesterday I worked from bed on the iPad — WORD on the iPad is surprisingly robust, by the way), and I thought, well, hell, I’ll go say hi at the blog with a macro photo.<\/p>\n

That there is a simple enough object: a stack of LEGO squares. Looks like LEGO DNA.<\/p>\n

What’s the health scoop? Well. I’m here dealing with not just pre-pneumonia, as was reported last week, but rather: both flu and pneumonia at one time, which is to say, FLUMONIA. (My new authorial pseudonym will be Flumonia Lungbees. I will use this new name\u00a0to check into hotels and it will also be my Tinder handle. Don’t tell my wife.) I was coughing up blood, but my lung X-Rays say that’s fine, believe it or not. And the antibiotics have run me ragged. But I’ve got deadlines that will eat me if I do not appease them, so here I be.<\/p>\n

Sad to see the nightmare unfolding in Brussels. I’d love it if we could all keep a cool head about it and wait for details to come in and not resort to vilifying Muslims or refugees and I sure hope that we don’t let Trump say anything,\u00a0anything at all,\u00a0<\/em>oh, too late, never mind. We should really all come together as a country and disavow him. I’d say that white people should also disavow him, but he’s clearly one of Boehner’s own Orange People. Probably not even human.<\/p>\n

Whatever.<\/p>\n

Be well, Belgium. And Europe. And refugees. And everybody.<\/p>\n

P.S. tomorrow\u00a0Hyperion<\/strong> comes out so I might pop by to remind you.<\/p>\n

P.P.S. *coughs on you*<\/p>\n
