Holy sky high uric acid, Batman. The blood test has confirmed gout or, as my doc put it, "Sky high uric acid". I've been put on a Colchicine/Allopurinol cocktail to get the gout back on the leash. Things must be improving already as I've started swearing less at work (gout really puts me in a foul mood); pretty good going with a boss like mine.

I'll be down at Hobbitsville on Saturday for work party duty.
