Research into the Darkness before the Dawn:

Thought for the Day:
I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me.

On Today:
I am once again going to work without any pain killers, two days in a row. As a result, I close my office door and put a note on it saying I am out of the office. I have been told by my colleagues that I don’t play well when I am in pain. I have some research I need to pull off for several projects I am working on and a couple plans to develop. The torn nerves in my neck and the pain from the dead mans knee are serving to keep me focused this day.

Tonight, after work I plan on dosing up and trying to go for a walk with my flower and the hounds, after which I will cook my all time favorite comfort food, pork chops and pork chop gravy on white bread with greens. I finished one book last night and have started another, I am currently reading recently retired general’s works, to try to get a handle on how the command decisions have been and are being made in this cluster-fuck they have going on.

Questions I ask myself at 3:15am Wednesday morning:
