      I'm guessing today is the fun task of "bowel prep". That definitely was not one of my fondest memories.

                      Thank you to all. The surgery is scheduled for 7:30. I should be in bed by now but I figure I am going to sleep most of the day any way tomorrow. See you all on the other side.

                            Bowel prep. I remember that well- I drank the Fleets, then after a few hours I had to drive from Philly to New York City!!!
