I feel a great sense of relief seeing Wednesday’s update go up without a hitch and no apology post in sight to mark its absence for the webpage.  This week certainly had all the makings of a comic update disaster!

Now granted, I’m not complaining or anything, rather celebrating the fact that I have recently enjoyed the wonderful trial of humanity known as passing a kidney stone!  A kidney stone (pictured above) is just one of the many joys of growing older or winning the genetic lottery.  Great Gatsby!  It t’was painful!  But all said and done, it was a one-day affair with little more than an ER visit and a dreadful experience worthy of the retelling.

Needless to say, I and my newfound kidney baby are doing fine.  Slither strips are projected to continue with their entertainment value at full-blast.  Cards for the baby are more than welcome!
