Topics A, B and C

Last time I was muttering about feeling unusually wired. I should have known that was a bad sign. The next day I knew I was coming down with something.

So here it is two weeks or so later: I've been to one clinic twice; once to another clinic; have spent several hundred dollars; and am on my third round of antibiotics.

I'd have to say that I feel better. No sore throat. No headaches. No fever. But the air pressure inside my head does not want to equalize with the air pressure outside my head.

The weather has not been very helpful either. Save for one or two exceptions, everyday, including today, has been cloudy, damp, chilly and windy. This evening is the first time I've felt warm all day.

After work yesterday, I forced myself to do the washing. At the laundry, I ended up filling ten washers. Of course, once the washing and drying is done, it all has to be lugged home and folded, hung or otherwise disposed of. I finally was able to plop on the couch around 8.

Several months ago, I'd started watching "Medical Investigation" on Friday nights on NBC. Primarily because of the presence of Chris Gorham. I loved him in "Popular," "Odyssey 5," and "Jake 2.0" A pox on the network executives for cancelling "O5" and Jake."

However, CBS has started airing "NUMB3RS" in the same time slot. "Inspired by actual events, NUMB3RS depicts how the confluence of police work and mathematics provides unexpected revelations and answers to the most perplexing criminal questions."

So far, it is very impressive. Almost brainy. When was the last time, you heard The Riemann Hypothesis mentioned in a tv series? Obviously, there will be a considerable amount of poetic license in dealing with this and related concepts.

Not only is it well done, but David Krumholtz is adorable and Rob Morrow looks fine in jeans.
