This past week, I had my bi-annual kidney stone attack. Only, this attack was a culmination of a bunch of small attacks that have happened over the last few months.
It finally got to the point where I couldn't keep anything down (read: upchuck) and I decided to call my urologist.
It happened Sunday night after I had scheduled my Pork Laxative blog for Monday morning distribution. In fact, it happened ALL Sunday night. I slept about 2 hours because the pain had me up and ambulatory (read: moving around like a Gypsie, no offense intended).
Latin word alert: Ambulare - to walk or move about, which is a reference to early medical care where patients were moved by lifting or wheeling.

The Best Water I Ever Tasted
I was talking with some friends last night and the topic turned to the best water we'd ever had. One guy said he took a drink out of a fountain at work that day and it was the best water he'd ever tasted, better than anything from a bottle. That got me to thinking, when and where was the best water I've ever drank?
Water isn't supposed to have any taste or smell. But it always does. It may be faint and barely noticeable but it's there nonetheless. Whether it's city water tainted with a splash of fluorine or well water laced with a little red clay, there always seems to be some aftertaste.
