Then, the 2p2 Grench laid my efforts to waste by vaporizing my post as I was trying to submit it. (Wassup with that, pj? It only happens with my best composition.)
Then I figured Howard was prolly done playin' and I didn't wanna make my other pals think that there wasn't an upside to having hypertension so I just gave up on my reply.
EP raises, all call, I call Q
J
OTB, goofy calls along w/ the BB.
Flop: Q-J-3. Checked to me I bet and only goofy calls.
Turn: K. c/b/c
River: A. goofy donks, fml, but I'm NEVER folding anything to him. He declares str8 and rolls over 99. Dealer says no str8, hilarity ensues. I still manage to lose for the day.

My doc called me tonight and said some test with my liver was kinda high so he wants to retest in 5 weeks and said no alcohol until then (alcohol can cause an abnormally high reading). I'm assuming he meant no alcohol until after 2pm tomorrow, right? Because I have a steak and wine lunch tomorrow that I've been planning for a few weeks now. It'll probably be more like chicken and wine now though.
I'm nearly 60 and this stuff makes me and my slightly elevated cholesterol seem not so bad. My blood pressure is 110/70, it's been the same my entire life. I hope things work out ok for you.
