I write this under the very heavy influence of a concoction of several flu medications and Chinese herbs. The drowsiness aspect of one of these medications is frustratingly not working and my face is salty like I’ve been running except I can’t run because I’ve no energy to even pour myself a glass of water.
Otherwise, life has been pretty good so far in the early dawn of 2013 and as usual I’m looking forward to another chartered spin around the sun.
The title of this post is Thompson’s reaction to the reception of his first sports journalistic piece The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved. The birth of gonzo journalism, “written under duress”.

It feels wonderful to now be off the meds for me. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
