No surgery for my youngest.

We went up to Keene, picked up my youngest and headed back here to go to a doctors appointment at Baystate.

Three weeks ago he wound up at the local hospital up there because his throat hurt and it was constricting to the point where he was having trouble breathing. The ER doctor discovered an abscess on his tonsils and massive swelling of his throat. He put him on an IV filled with antibiotics and got him breathing again.

The following day, he went to see a Ear Nose and Throat guy who lanced the abscess and recommended he see a surgeon to determine if his tonsils should come out.

Long story short, he saw the surgeon and the surgeon said no need for the tonsils to come out.

So now we're home and I'm watching curling.

It's men's curling so it's not as good as women's curling.

In case you don't know, curling is a sport that involves throwing stones down a sheet of ice and then going drinking afterwards. When it comes to women, the curlers are generally young and attractive. The men, however, are basically the 40 year old guys you see at the local bar.

You know the guys - they have two ashtrays on the table, three pitchers of Bud, four glasses and there are probably some empty shot glasses left over from the boilermakers they started with.

Not the most attractive guys but they know how to have a good time.
