the biggest state

Good morning, east coast! One red-eye later, I am back where I belong: namely, the Big MD, which I am pleased to report seems unchanged since my departure six weeks earlier. Bis'l the Crohn's Dog, in a near frenzy of excitement, leaped directly onto my right arm and commenced a barkathon of important proportions. It is beginning to sink in that I only got about three hours of sleep last night -- the kind of sleep one gets while intermittently waking up to look at the icon of the plane hovering dubiously over a map of Kansas -- but I am hoping that the delicate soils of the Big MD will keep me awake for a while longer since I have to investigate the fact that my former employer fucked up my insurance of which I apparently now have none.

Yes, you read that right: That University Where I Used To Teach, although mysteriously continuing to pay me (?), has somehow failed to submit my Cobra paperwork properly -- a fact that I discovered yesterday when trying to fill prescriptions before my flight. I guess today's work is cut out for me. If need be, I will hold the phone up to Bis'l and just get her to bark down the line.

cobra paperwork got screwed up, eh?

well, that sounds like a job for G.I.JOE!

of course, knowing that paperwork is screwed up is half the battle.

Christ on a cracker.

1) That University needs to go play in traffic.

2) Health care reform. Now.
