Docs on 5, Hold the Mayo

Did you notice the title of today's post? 'Docs on 5' sounds like dachshund 5. Isn't that funny? And 'hold the Mayo' sounds like a line from Airplane. Isn't that funny? Aren't I funny?

The 'docs' in the title is because I have a Dr. appt today to see if my cholesterol is better. The 'Mayo' is because our company offers an annual physical at the Mayo for free. I called to schedule it yesterday and they are already booked up through late Sept. I have to look at the list of tests for old dudes to see what they will do. Sure, I like getting to the senior discounts at restaurants and stuff, but words like colonoscopy and aortic ultrasound do not please me.

For sure, I could not play rugby. It is a rough game anyway. I get winded changing the channel between sports events on TV. I can, however, write a cartoon that involves rugby. And I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

My buddy Pat has been out on vacation for a week and a half. She just came by and talked for a few minutes. She had a good time at a famous casino up in Connecticut with her college roommates. That's good for her, but I will take the family and the Rockies over that any day. It's almost time for my vacation.

Well, this looks like four paragraphs of nonsense already, so I will stop for today. I will have additional stuff to say tomorrow, but I won't know what until I get there. If you meet me then, I'll tell you what I am going to tell you. You know what I mean. Bye.
