Last weekend, I was in Denver for the Financial Blogger Conference. Last week, I had a sore throat that got worse each day until my tonsils started touching on Friday. I could barely talk, so I went to the doctor, then to bed.
It apparently wasn’t strep throat, but beyond that, it could be anything from motaba to weaponized syphilis*.
This is one of those occasions when I’m happy to be living in the future, where a quick trip to the clinic can knock out what would have been hopeless and fatal and few hundred years ago. Antibiotics and a day spent in bed watching super hero movies made me better. That beats bloodletting any day.

* Weaponized Syphilis
This involves giving each of the syphilis spirochetes an M16 and a Manifest Destiny indoctrination before releasing them into the wild. The transport mechanism (the “insertion method”) remains as fun as ever.
Have a great weekend!
My throat got better within a day of landing back in Houston, BUT then I spent the next 3 days being majorly ill and spending most of my time in the restroom. So obviously, Denver hates us.
