The Wages of Coffee is Pain

Did I mention I'm prone to developing kidney stones? I produced my first back in 94, and have seen them return twice since then. I am a kind of sentient quarry that produces calcium oxalate crystals and pain in a measure disproportionately favoring the latter. In between these episodes, I function largely in the disguise of a human being.

My mineral nature has reasserted itself today, and I look forward to rich vein of accreted misery to be vigorously mined over the next few weeks.

Filling up the brita, popping back the motrin. Time to hydrate. Jumping-jacks are recommended. The Stone... It Moves!

As the venerable musical ensemble AC/DC once proclaimed (with embellishments for the present occasion): For those about to (produce) rock(s), we salute you!

P.S. - Not much progress on the project, hopefully more to report this month!
