Out of the Blue

Went to the doctor this morning to pave the way for my annual physical. The actual check up is next week, but today I gave blood and urine (coincidentally the name of my best-selling punk rock album). This was a pretty pleasant process, as the doctor long ago cleared me to drink coffee in spite of the instructions to fast before the blood draw, which eliminates the biggest hardship of the process. And giving blood is a nice experience for someone who's always been as scrawny as I am, because it's the only time I get compliments on my arms, since it's so easy to find veins. Time for the gun show, baby!
