    Aren’t those actually the words of late nineteenth-century politician and presidential prognosticator Charles Henry Grosvenor? I don’t think Mark Twain can claim credit for that line.

    I think the ER doc found the right recipe. I seem to be faring better today.

    That’s a neat little site you’ve linked to in your comment.

    Thanks! I found on Google so I could learn more about Grosvenor. He was an interesting man.
