The Blogger Is Sick / The Last Act

I might have the flu. It’s difficult to tell at this point. But it’s either a cold or the flu. Or it could be one of those Alien babies that incubate for awhile inside you before they decide to make a run for it. Whatever it is produces a lot of stuff you don’t want to hear about.
The other evening we were having dinner and someone was describing the sores that had mysteriously broken out on a friend’s body. It is difficult for me to focus on my chicken when hearing about things like that. Last night on television I saw this great looking guy who recently had a skin cancer removed from his lip. Now he uses sun block. We have a friend in Florida who had a skin cancer removed from his ear. And they keep going back for more. We pray for our friends who are going through these terrible ordeals.
It’s so important to use sun block when out in the sun. And smoking cigarettes is beyond dumb. Does anybody do that anymore? I hardly ever see anyone smoking. I can remember a time back in the 80’s when the waiting rooms in the hospital where I worked were filled with clouds of cigarette smoke. I can’t imagine how that could have been permitted.
There was a guy who manufactured televisions. I think his name might have been Mathis. Were there such things as Mathis televisions at one time? In any case he was on an airplane. At that time you could smoke on airplanes. So children got to inhale cigarette smoke in this cylindrical tube. But they didn’t really have to worry about that in this case. Because someone lit up when using the rest room and dropped their cigarette into the trash receptacle.
Unfortunately it was still lit. And the airplane never made it to its destination. They did a study later on as they always do and discovered the cause. I can’t imagine how they figure stuff like this out. They are so smart. But on the other hand they are pretty dumb too. Because they allowed people to smoke on airplanes. “Hey Charlie! How long do you think it will be before some guy with early stage Alzheimers forgets to put his cigarette out in the lavatory?”
Apparently no one ever asked this simple question.
I really become so cheerful when I have the flu. You really have something to look forward to if I do. Better pray it’s an Alien baby. That would be much more entertaining. Maybe I can take some photos of it waving good-bye.
This is the last thing I want to do before leaving this earth. Take a picture. Hopefully it will be of something nicer than an Alien but you can’t really be too picky at a moment like that. “Hey. Alien baby! Could you hold still for a second and smile. Show me those teeth. And stop drooling all over the carpet.”
