The Great Plotnik

Drinking the Kool Aid



Plotnik thought he would show his readers a few more gorgeous lilies from his field, to take his mind off the misery of the sigmoidoscopy (routine-scheduled) he had to take this morning, and all the, well, what you have to do the night before.



Then, he spoke to Patsy this morning from DC, who told him the test is useless, you need a colonoscopy like George Bush had, which is what Plotnik thought he was having.



Anyhow, readers, you will be glad to know this is the same orange day lily that grew by the tens of thousands all over the rural routes near Fowl Manors, the Plotnik Manorial Estate once located in Catawissa, PA, and that Plotnik still has the sigmoid colon of a 16-year-old, feh, ptuui, but that's what she said. Mr. Notthat is right. What 16-year-old? Didn't he still need his?

Jeez, it's good that's over with, since tomorrow afternoon begins the schlep to Oaxaca.

Flight to LA, flight to Puebla, spend two days in Puebla, then a 4 hour-15 minute bus ride to Oaxaca city on Sunday. Monday is the dance festival. We'll see what happens after that.

"Plotnik still has the sigmoid colon of a 16-year-old"

But won't the 16-year-old miss it? Did he put up much of a fight when you took it?

I love how Oaxaca is pronouned. Or at least how I think it is pronounced. Wah HA cah - right? I learned that from a Tecate Light beer commercial. I also learned "Si mijo" which I think means "Shut your gob before I come over there and smack you upside the head you moron" or something like that.

Have a wonderful trip! Looks like we'll be spending Christmas in Mexico this year. See you for wine and basketball in August. Well, not at the same time...

I really love Day of the Dead figurines, which I believe are in abundance in Oaxaca, in case you were wondering what to get me for my birthday...

Oh, you do tend to treat these routine tests as extraordinary, don't you? I forgot...
Hope to see you tonight at Tiapos!

I'm sure the Casino Bus is nothing compared to your upcoming 4 hour-15 minute bus ride! You're doing this by choice? Take some pix at the dance festival.

How do you get your text to run between the photos so nicely? Mine shows up wily-nily and I have to fuss with it after I publish.
