Bacterial; Deli and Brad Davis; "Powers of Invisibilty"

When will I learn? My tummy is bothering me. I don't suppose it had anything to do with the vegetarian stuffed potato I had at lunch Tuesday. The one with onions, olives, cheese, green peppers and tomatoes.

And I don't suppose it had anything do with the big chunk of pizza I had that evening for din din. The garlic-mushroom-spinach pizza.

Actually, I'm sure they set off a chain reaction that kept me awake Tuesday night. And caused me to stay home yesterday. And miss work this morning.

Today at lunch I had a plain baked potatoe with salt, pepper and butter which I hoped would not cause a problem. But by the end of the day I was feeling slightly sea sick. By the time I got home, I'd more or less figured out that what I had was bacterial and not virual.

Fortunately, I had some antibiotics from the last sinus infection. I broke one in half and gulped it down with a glass of coke. And here I sit an hour later feeling somewhat better. In fact better than I've felt since the weekend.

Brad was supposedly straight. ("Wink! Wink! Nod! Nod!") But he played the lead in the very homoerotic "Querelle" directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder based on the Jean Genet novel. Brad also had a penchant for homoerotic photos. I discovered this one within the last week.

Brad died of an AIDS-related illness. His wife claimed it was due to his drug use of HIV-tainted needles.

I was reminded of a scene from "Friends." Chandler stands in the midst of a scene while two people argue across him. After they finish, he sez, "Should I use my powers of invisibilty for good or evil?"

PAX!
