Ash Wednesday

It's Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. An affenpinscher named Banana Joe won Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show; while a 'local' Colorado Springs dog, 20-month-old Swagger, an Old English Sheepdog placed second. It is believed that ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner has died in a fire in a cabin in Big Bear, California. (I'll believe it when forensics prove that it is Dorner's body.)
  Saw the doctor again yesterday. I still have acute bronchitis; but my chest X-Ray shows no pneumonia. Supposed to stay in bed until February 23, now. I am sick and tired of being ill - but I can't breathe...
