Last week I was coughing
Last week I was coughing up lungs, so I went to the doctor. While there, I had a cholesterol test, my first since the report in the fall of wild chunks of lard lumping through my veins. Results are still not in.
I'm terrible after a test. As Daphne and I drove to our first university class of the semester yesterday, we drove past a White Castle. I never eat there any more, but I knew that I had a date with cholesterol destiny after Education 763.23X. I know that their food is hot buttered death, but those little bacon cheeseburgers are little fat bombs of tastiness. I can't help it, I've been really good!
My rhapsodizing about their burgers was so enticing that two other teachers joined me there. We're talking about lessons, and this woman joins in our conversation. We did not invite it, and I immediately got the impression that she was absolutely barking doolally mad. Everyone in the Castle knew that King George was on the loose again, but I thought that I was managing to avoid this situation. I didn't make eye contact, I didn't encourage her, but I still don't have that fine balance that other New Yorkers have. By the time my three bacon covered heart stoppers arrived, soaking through their cardboard containers, she was screaming obscenities. Sad thing is, she had NOTHING on junior high kids, either for insanity or crudity.
