This is a scheduled rest day for me and actually I feel pretty crappy, like I'm coming down with a cold. Ugh.....I wish I could skip work but today's my "hell" day where I do my volunteer EMT duties from 6am till noon and then work from 12-9pm. Maybe the ambulance will be quiet this morning and we won't be called to any emergencies and I can catch a short nap before I have to work. I'm sure that would help.<br><br>

In honor of "talk like a Pirate day", may I offer this for your information?<br><br>
grog (grog) noun<br><br>
1. An alcoholic drink, especially rum diluted with water.<br><br>
2. Any strong alcoholic drink.<br><br>
[After Old Grog, nickname of Admiral Edward Vernon (1684-1757), who ordered<br>
diluted rum to be served to his sailors. The admiral earned the nickname from<br>
his habit of wearing a grogram cloak. Grogram is a coarse fabric of silk,<br>
wool, mohair, or a blend of them. The word grogram is from French gros grain<br>
(large grain or texture).]<br><br>
