The Fisher King

[dr_pretentious]

I have this friend whose recovery from surgery is taking a very, very long time.

Yesterday, in one of those moments of bizarre mythic thinking, I realized that what he really needed was the Holy Grail. Yep, if only I could bring him the Holy Grail, his wound would mend right up.

Maybe I've read too much Arthuriana this year.

But just in case...if you happen to have the Holy Grail lying around, or if you happen to come across it, do let me know. I'm not really cut out for the knight errant business, I'm afraid, and no one would mistake me for an eligible damsel, so I realize this is a long shot.

Probably the closest I can come to delivering the Holy Grail to G will be to recite Monty Python routines to him next time I visit him in the hospital. Fetchez la vache!

I like to think I'm more dame than damsel these days, but thank you. :)

I don't think she's a damsel, but then again, maybe I'm the terrible giant that must be defeated that has kept her locked up all these years.
