Albeit

I used that word in my post yesterday. "Albeit" is a word I've always hated, because al-bee-it sounds so silly it makes me squirm. But during the presidential campaign, I saw/heard David Gergen say it apropos of something, and changed my mind. He said "all-bay-it," which sounds downright educated. I still doubt that I'll ever say it out loud.

Many times in my life I have said, or thought, "Lord, let it rain!" But not for 40 days and 40 nights, please. We've had at least six days and nights of it, and it's beginning to get on my nerves.

The antibiotic is working fine, my head feels so much better today, I woke up this morning not groaning, not mute. Long live the science/art of medicine!
