    *I have since safely made it to California and back (which explains the lapse in posting)*

    As I write this now, I am half way to California. Mid air with a splitting headache. This is a result of a pre-flight boozing binge of necessity.

    My lower back aches. The back of my knees are sweaty, and I cannot itch the bottom of my foot. Everything is uncomfortable.

    I am an anxious person. I come from a long line of anxious-ers. If you ever journey to Richardsonland, here are some things to remember so as not to disturb the animals:

    Check food labels two or three times before consuming.
    Spend most of your time knocking on wood.
    There’s no such thing as “too many” Carbon Monoxide detectors.
    When in doubt, take Benedryl, Robitussin or Sudafed.
    When dining out, insist on sitting in a booth (or at least in a seat with your back to the wall).

    When you are anxious four things help:

    1. Klonopin: Not the greatest choice. You need a prescription and Benzos are addictive (plus they stop working after a while).
    2. Fish oil: Nature’s own mood stabilizer.
    3. Ruth Gordon & Garson Kanin films: Who isn’t lulled into good times by a witty and well functioning marriage?

    And

    4. Jack Lemmon
