K and I received our copies of the Yellowstone calendar and they look great. I’m happy with both the images we selected and also the printing – which was great. As I mentioned earlier, we went with Zazzle for doing the printing and couldn’t be happier. My mom got the ones for the folks in Louisiana and she also thought they looked good. But hey, your mom is supposed to think everything you do looks good, so I was even happier to see that someone I don’t know in Illinois bought a copy on the Zazzle marketplace. I didn’t expect that, but it was nice to see 🙂

Back from the dead
Okay, I wasn’t really dead, I had the flu, but I was wishing that I was dead for a while there. Five days is too long for a massive headache and very high fever. I’m finally recovering and doing some self-imposed quarantine after getting on Tamaflu Monday. Tuesday afternoon was somewhat interesting. My doctor’s office had given me a little trick – you can take full doses of acetaminophen and full doses of ibuprofen. They’ll both contribute to lowering fever and reducing pain, but their side effects are different and you don’t risk ulcers or your liver as if you had doubled up on one.
So, Tuesday, I’m lying in bed doped up on acetaminophen, acid blockers, caffeine, ibuprofen, and tamaflu, feeling better than I had in quite some time. I was wishing there was a Phish album playing, but was too lazy to go put one on. Instead, I laid (diagonal 🙂 ) in my bed and daydreamed about Bill’s in-place, parallel sorting problem. I think I’ve got the solution and it seems to hold even now when I’m not so dippy.
