the shrewdness of apes

waking up on Saturday with wedding fun both behind and ahead of me, i was disturbed to find that my uvula had swollen overnight to epic proportions (by uvula standards). it was touching my tongue, making it feel like i needed to cough something up, while any heavy breathing caused it to flutter in the breeze. not a pleasant sensation either. the wife (squared) was grossed enough to request repeated viewings throughout the day. i thought this might be fairly rare, but the official brother of t.s.o.a. claimed to have survived a few winter episodes of said phenomenon. a quick search then led to the realization that numerous other folks had already blogged this problem out of obscurity. whatever, it's fine now.
