30. My apologies. My attempt at humor was crude.

I should not have written it that way. I have edited the OP of this post. The story referenced remains incorrect and out of date.

Note: I'm having a somewhat difficult day. My 88-year-old- father, who recently was recovering from a subdural hematoma, is now in intensive care with pneumonia. He's in very critical condition. I'm in Minnesota and he's in California, and I can't get there until tomorrow night. So, my patience is at a low ebb today, and my sense of humor is not what it should be. It's very likely that I will not arrive before he passes. That's not an excuse. It's an explanation for my poor attitude today.
