That's good, hope the pain will go away too. It's not easy to get joints to heal: my elbow sometimes still hurts from the time I bruised it with
basketball in school.
Dad won't play Key To The Kingdom with me anymore since I won last time. That was an epic battle that lasted an hour and a half.

Jesus, what a bunch we are. Luckily I'm not currently nursing an injury of any kind. I'm on the tail end of a round of antibiotics after coming down
with the secondary infection from hell in my throat. Hope this finds everyone feeling not too bad. I'm having a pretty good weekend so far.

Bought the infamous and pre-Internet-era book Broodje Aap by Ethel Portnoy. It's a collection of urban myths.
Much to my surprise I found FZ was mentioned in it: on a story about one Owsley (who dragged a holy book to the prison, to "read to" hippies, while
each and every page of that book was drenched with LSD), Portnoy writes:
"In the 60s, there was an enormous fad among Californian teens about the mischievous Owsley. In the song Hey Punk by Frank Zappa [sic] the
Punk says "I'm going to San Fransisco to sleep on Owsley's floor". In a book on the children of hippies (J. Rothchild and S. Wolf, The Children of
the Counterculture, New York, 1976) a commune is mentioned where some ow "Owsley's children" live.
Did "Owsley" really exist? It might not be a coincidence that his name is similar to 'Uilenspiegel'.
Looked him up and discovered that Portnoy's research could've been much better, and not just because there's no "Hey Punk" song by Frank Zappa

I expected this to be down. So you just don't get the domain from Go-Daddy, you host there also?
Hi there.

We host for at least 10 years with Godaddy. Up till now there were no severe problems. A change in CEO at Godaddy was cause of main trouble because he
supported SOPA. The stupid. When customers left the company massivly, they turn around and won't support SOPA. But hackers stil find that millions of
people must be punished. A little stupid. We are back and hope that we are back for again a long time.

That sounds incredibly stupid to me. I hear you DED. When Zappa talked about how much stupidity there is in the world it was kind of funny. But, it's
actually quite sad is it not?

Now if we can just stay on our feet and not slip and fall,we just might make it a whole week without injury to ourselves or the sites we use! We seem
to be a sickly and injury prone bunch! Hold the antibiotics!

With hackers claiming to check the security of sites while doing harm to it, is not new. It looks like ddr with their vopo's.

I'm not on my feet again. Yesterday I got a weird allergic reaction below my mouth over my entire chin. Allergic reaction, perhaps, but I never had
any food allergies before.

I got myself a new bicycle yesterday and today I gave it/myself quite a work out. I need the exercise and it will eventually pay for itself in saved
bus tickets. Now there's a story that only involves good health for a change.

That's great, Poly! Be careful now: you probably have heard us on how badly you can injure yourself!

Yes, I've been out riding my bike, the right way up.
Hello Bonny. I've been busy.
I got knocked off my study perch by this business with my Mum. She's on her third round of antibiotics, which is ridiculous and what was going to see
an improvement in her mind set in a week has now blown out to more than six weeks. If her infection test comes back negative again this week, my
brother and I will take her to hospital.
Anyway, I'm getting my music and maths mojo back and even though I've had to delay some coursework I'm now back on track with my project.
I don't know if I mentioned that after 7 years I'm seeing my Dad again and today he's just turned 90. Physically pretty old and worn out but still
very acute mentally.

Congratulations on your father, Poly! I hope your mom will be OK...
Very funny, Kirk. I made these Zappa Cluedo cards hoping we could start up a game at zappa.com, but unfortunately that's not going to work.
