0 for Nature, 1 for Man and Technology
Mid-October I came down with the swine flu. A couple days later I was up
and around after two dosages of Tamiflu. My first treatment by an anti-viral
drug was amazing. If this is portent of medical technology to come, I’m
impressed. On the flip side, I have yet to regain my aerobic endurance nearly
two full months later due to what my doctor termed “post-inflammatory bronchitis.”
So while the Tamiflu nailed the Influenza, I had to tough out a secondary infection.

He didn’t know either but suggested hot water. You would think that the people who are selling apples coated with wax made from ground up beetles would know how to remove the compound. Looks like they don’t. |

TRUE WEST
There are only two more performances of this production at Hillcrest’s Urban Grind Cafe located at 797 Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92103.
I was invited to do the lighting and to mount some photographs.
Last two nights of the show are this Friday and Saturday, (the 19 and 20th, 2010) at 9pm. My exhibition will come down just after Thanksgiving.
Help support the arts by experiencing theater in this unexpected place!
