A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Garlic and Riley: The Grumpy Dogs
Questions? Comments? Biting sarcasm? Write to: pagingdrgrumpy [at] gmail [dot] com
Note: I do not answer medical questions. If you are having a medical issue, see your own doctor. For all you know I'm really a Mongolian yak herder and have no medical training at all except in issues regarding the care and feeding of Mongolian yaks.

Benjamin Britten was a European Power? Who knew?
(Somebody goofed on the blurb there.)
So . . . bagpipes? The accordion?
Enh. Britten was all of one or two years old when the Great War started. By WWII, of course, he was a confirmed pacifist, but we mustn't get our dates muddled.
Obviously, someone at Garland attached the blurb of one book to the title and image of another.
Especially ironic given that Britten was a die-hard pacifist, the composer of many anti-war works including the monumental War Requiem of 1962.
Beautiful!
That's one expensive book:

Britten, Britain....tomayto, tomahto
Google Books is an unremitting nightmare. I tried putting up books to sell. The interface is like a "how not to" illustration from a HID textbook. The search feature (and this is GOOGLE, for the love of Mike) is atrocious. And they randomly deep discount things without warning, which screws over authors big time. Stay away from it.
What I'm most amused by is that a couple people found it necessary to explain to the rest of us that someone messed up the blurb. Gee, really?
