Maybe it&#8217;s all the drugs. I&#8217;m feeling much better today, but it was one of those days where you&#8217;re supposed to go as hard as you can for 15 seconds, rest for 15 seconds, and then go again.

I read today about how some PR dude got in trouble for twittering that he hated Memphis before giving a presentation to FedEx, who are based in Memphis. I mean, holy hell, can&#8217;t the guy have an opinion? Don&#8217;t the people at FedEx have a frigging sense of humor? I really don&#8217;t want to live in the south, either. In fact, I&#8217;m trying hard to avoid ever going to Texas in my life. OK, so not really trying HARD, but I&#8217;m telling myself that I&#8217;m going to use my sheer force of will to keep me out of that state and some of the adjoining states like Oklahoma or Arkansas. Then again, I had to drive through parts of Kentucky a couple years ago and I even went to a Microsoft conference in San Diego. (I was too conscientious to skip out, so it could have been in Peoria for all the sightseeing I didn&#8217;t do in San Diego.) Texas is probably not all that bad, comparatively, plus they have all that barbecue.<\/p>\n<p>What am I saying? I&#8217;m avoiding Texas. Yes. And anything south of, say, San Diego. I watched those shows on parasites on the Discovery Channel back when it was the airplanes and tropical diseases channel and not the Mythbuster\/blow-stuff-up channel like it is now. Guinea worms! Malaria! Dengue fever! It all comes when you get south of the border. And by &#8220;the border&#8221; I think I mean the city limits of Santa Barbara. That&#8217;ll even keep me out of LA, another place where you could catch me twittering about how I&#8217;d hate to live there. You can even tell my boss. He has a sense of humor.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d make a graph as to how hot a woman would have to be to get me to live in the South (again) or  Los Angeles, but I&#8217;m not sure of the units of woman heat. It&#8217;s probably something metric and just plain confusing like Kelvin. I mean, Kelvin doesn&#8217;t even line up right with Celsius. Who was the marketing genius who came up with that? Dry ice, -77&deg;C. What was I talking about again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somehow it seems like it should be later in the week. Maybe it&#8217;s all the drugs.
