As I was munching on my late afternoon apple, enjoying a bit of late afternoon procrastination, I got to your post on "Omentum." And as I read, I started to gag, and as I gagged, a piece of apple lodged itself in my throat. I was on the brink of choking to death. I hacked away for a good minute there, and have only just recovered.

Thanks, Trailhead.

I would like to point out, however, that the same Omentum that inspired your near death experience has protected your stomach from infections many times, according to our friend Dr. Peykanu. All in all, I think you're still ahead in the game.

Fair point. I bear my omentum no ill will, but I just don't want to be reading about it when I'm expecting some good, clean political fun.
