Fodors Is Calling

When I want great travelogue writing, I think of the Elder from Fraters. Natch.

This, from his trip to 'dago, may signal his impending move to the Strib's travel beat:

The worst part of vomiting is not the actual regurgitation itself, but rather the in-between phase. You've just spilled your guts into the toilet. Now you pause for a moment, grasping the side of the bowl, and gasping for breathe. Your nose is running, your eyes are tearing up, and your whole body is shaking. You can see and smell the product of your previous work. You know that your reprieve will be short lived and that there's more where that came from. And here it comes...

The law of diminishing returns also comes into play while calling Ralph on the big white phone. While the first round is not a walk in the park, it's much less painful than those that follow.

I almost feel like I'm there.

Get well soon, El.
