DON’T. EVER. SNEEZE.

FUNKY FACT/CONFESSIONAL
Yesterday, I Sneezed – Twice – Which Is Exactly Two Times More Than The Permissible Number Of Sudden, Uncontrollable Expulsions Of Air From My Mouth And Nasal Cavity … Making Me A Social Pariah Of The Lowest Degree.
Moments After An Inconvenient Tickle, Tickle Morphed Into An Annoying, Crackling Cough, Cough. For The Second Time In 8 Weeks, I Shuffled Off To Get Tested For COVID-19. Because. That’s How Coo-Coo Crazy The New World Disorder Is These Days.

POST SNEEZE
A Day-And-An-Hour Later – I’m Waiting In Quasi Quarantine (My Front Door Is Open, Letting In September’s First Love Bite) – For The Test Results I Know Are Negative.
How Do I Know?
Another Because … For Starters, I Had Guac (With Braised Chicken Soft Tacos & Seared Ahi Tuna Sliders) On Monday Night. Guac Is Pure Brain Food And Cures Everything From The Munchies To Hyperbolic Blogging, Guac Is Known To Be Highly Hallucinogenic When Taken With Peyote And A Mezcal Chaser. Once Consumed Liberally By Mayan Oracles. According To The Cracker Jacks On Ancient Aliens. That’s Just Not True, Is It? More Importantly, I’m Not Advocating The Use Of Illegal Narcotics, Unripe Avocados Or Watching Ancient Aliens.

Good morning. I hope you’re through those difficult moments. I went through an extended period of “not wanting to write.” I’m slowly returning to it. I hear Chuck is a popular collaborator with female bloggers … lucky guy :). Best email to connect is gdpten@gmail.com

Nice to see you back, Mr. Kuch. I hope Riklig has been comforting companion while you convalesce. Also, do you need funding to further explore your possible cure for The Vid? Guca may be the golden ticket. I’m not offering, but I may know someone…
