I knew a Brit in China who loved to tempt the odds on such things. Seemed to have the constitution of a hog. That's something I sure don't have these days. Wish I did.
OTOH, I remember a conference in San Frisky many years ago where I ran into some bad food and spent a very miserable night in the bathroom before being told the following morning, at the last minute, that *I* had to run the day's meeting! (At that point I had absolutely no experience running meetings...)
I became a little more cautious after that.

"I became a little more cautious after that." Indeed so. You have to be in good health to be able to avoid running meetings.

Just got back from watching "Iron Man 2."
Not as good as the original, but fun enough. And funny too, though the age-old program of "surprising abilities" and casually presenting capabilities that will become crucial when used again later... well, maybe it is necessary for all it's old.
But the last "turnabout" measure at the ending was a good hoot. Many senators are way too full of themselves.
