Public Service Announcement
April 4, 2009
As I get older, I’m less inclined to give personal advice – health, romance, etc. Instead, I just talk about my experience and the listener can judge the extent to which it might apply to them. But I think I’m on pretty solid ground with this one:
When applying ‘Icy Hot’, ‘Ben Gay’, or any other such irritant horse-liniment to your sore shoulder, avoid letting it come in contact with any part of your neck which you have just finished shaving.
Thank you, that is all.

Good advice, that. And might I add: be careful to wash such stuff off your hands thoroughly before using the bathroom.
I don’t have to draw a picture, now, do I?
Ouch!
When I was afflicted with shingles (chicken pox reprised), my doc recommended Zostrix cream, a capsacin-based ointment. It worked well in the affected area. My mistake was accidentally touching, while bathing, an area south of the 49th. Great balls o’ fire, that was not fun.
