Still Ailing

Whoever designed the human body had a wicked sense of humor.  How can a nose that has been in operation for 66+ years still produce SO MUCH SNOT?  Shouldn't production tail off after a while?

Oh I hope you feel better soon. Like you, just about everything related to Lincoln interests me.

One thing that I remember all the time, is years ago, when I was a kid, Dinah Shore had a daytime talk show. It was on when I would get home from school, and my mother would have it on. Her guest one time was Martin Mull, and he jokingly told her that he had recently written a book. She asked about it, and he said the title was "Lincoln: The Car, the Man, and the Tunnel."
