It Worked! Well, kinda...

Back on October 10 I posted that I'd found a doctor who believed he knew how to fix my sore throat. 

His suggestion has definitely improved the situation greatly, so I'll give him credit for some success.  I still have a constant sore throat, but it is only about 10% of what it was in August, September, and October, although some days it goes up to about 40%.  

In 2 weeks, this semester will be over and I won't have to contend with eight straight hours of constant talking... well, shouting, really, so that people in the back of the huge classroom can hear me. 

Next semester, instead of an 80-seat classroom, I'll be in a 40-seat classroom like I used to have.  I won't have to shout as much.  Plus, I'll have breaks between classes so I can let my voice rest and get hydrated.  

It will be nice to finally be able to talk without sounding like a cross between Rod Stewart and the guy playing Xerxes from the movie "300".

Jacksonville and Environs

Jacksonville waterfront.  Click for a big version.

St Johns River Fountain and Park, on the southside of the river.

Yes, that's me under the stabilizer fin at the front of the "sail".
This is at the Kings Bay Submarine Base in St. Mary's, Georgia.

Me and Grandma, at St. Andrews Point on the southern tip of Jekyll Island, Georgia.

And Who Might This Be?

And when?
HINT:  Calvin Coolidge was president when this was taken.
