Today, I am away from my new full-time day job, as I finally will attend a preliminary appointment to determine how medical professionals will perform some internal spelunking. I hope they are medical professionals, I hate to think people do this sort of thing recreationally...

Yes, after at least a 3-4 year wait, I am going in for the consultation appointment that men of my advanced years are expected to attend regularly (hey, if I'm regular, why do I even need to do this?? Here all week folks, try the veal!!).

I expect today I will have my options explained, and maybe meet the miniature camera that will be probing my sun-deprived Venice Canal. Wonder if they'll find those car keys I misplaced a few years ago??

I will confess I'm not particularly looking forward to this - I don't even like putting in eye-drops, let alone lengths of cable - but at my age, this is a practical process to ensure sinister things aren't going on in the background, literally.

Chow for now!
