No, you can't see my scar


Several folks who frequent this blog have asked if I'm going to post details about my hospitalization and recovery.

Good Lord, no! Wasn't Glenn Beck's anal surgery enough for you?

Listening to other people whine at length about their health is as bad as being assaulted by vacation slide shows on other people's laptops, especially of places you've never been to and have no wish to visit. Maybe worse.

Or having to view photos of their grandchildren on their iPhones. I don't show them mine -- why should I have to look at theirs? I don't know them and besides they're always funny-looking but you can't say anything.

And so for some time there may be few new posts, until my interest in the world about me has recovered.

  1. Henry, you really are a class act - one of the few remaining in the world.

    Best wishes on your recovery -

  8. There's even a Keith Olbermann fan on this blog but I'll respect his anonymity.

  9. Did you see the piece on The Daily Show where Jon Stewart did a side-by-side clip of Glenn Beck completely contradicting himself on healthcare reform? It was priceless! http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-august-13-2009/glenn-beck-s-operation

  10. Geez, I stay away a while and this?

    Belated wishes for a speedy recovery and blah blah blah. Just remember when it hurts: Aging is a bitch, but consider the alternative.

    (And, no, no desire for scar pix. I still have nightmares involving LBJ's.)
