| Heading off to the phys today for a check-up on my flu 'n cold. Got a recommendation to a lung clinic, and didn't expect to be able to get an appointment in the foreseeable future. Called them, got an appointment tonight. Yay!

| Spent last night at the mall with just me and my son. Got some great books in the bargain bin at Waldenbooks. 2 aircraft books, a book for Conner, and a book about ships for $10 that will make a great gift for my dad for Christmas.

Well what's to worry about when it's a lung clinic? Blow in a hose and get the air sacs x-rayed, that isn't so difficult, the hard part was getting there and back again. Huge public hospitals are frightfully easy to get lost in, but lo and behold, old scout Black Fox here managed anyway. Results: Fine lungs, although I was recommended to quit the cigars and the cold. *happy smile*
