Out of the mouths of Goddesses. I hear Dr. Beard's coming to Ottawa in May? So? I already discussed putting the insurance back on Adam My Truck 1 May so I could make that long drive through Pine Country (a.k.a. Algonquin Park) to hear and see her. I hope my doc agrees with me and gives me enough good meds to get through it without pissing my petunias.
