Austin is for Atrial Fibrillation

So here I am in Austin, TX. I have searched out to be what I consider to be the best doctor to help me with my Atrial Fibrillation condition. His name is Dr. Andrea Natale and he has just come to Austin from The Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Natale is world renowned for developing some of the techniques used to treat atrial fibrillation.

I just walked from my hotel to the Clay Pit, an Indian restaurant. It was delicious, I had the Jeera Sang with Lamb. It is a spinach curry- excellent. The problem was that it was a Texas-sized portion and I got too full too fast. I didn't want to waste any so I ate the whole damn thing.

Another thing I have noticed is that Austin is a college town and the St. David's Medical Center is adjacent to the University of Texas at Austin. I was rudely reminded that the only thing fair is life is a dog's ass... and that is in fair view.

If life were fair I would no longer be attracted to women other than my wife. I kinda hoped that when I turned 40 last week that I could look at a hot mama with the same indifference that I have when I browse Southern Living magazine. Unfortunately, that just ain't so. So I lead the life of a tortured man. Being here just makes it worse.

Add on to this torture the fact that the wife had a partial hysterectomy a week ago so I will get none in the next five weeks. It kinda adds up to life not being fair at all on the biological attraction end of things.

But then I always have my children to bring me back to earth. Nothing else is as heartwarming and wonderful in my life as they are. I just need to focus on them and my job... which is pretty much what I have exclusively been doing for the past four years.

Well, gotta go read up more on what I need to know tomorrow for my appointment with Dr. Natale.
