It is good to find he has a clean bill of health.

It was the scope from the other end he was talking about. And I wonder why it was done. The bottom end is done after a certain age as a matter of good health care, but the top end isn't done as a matter of course. It's only done for a reason. One must have symptoms, they must be uncontrolled, and they must be of long standing in order for such a procedure to be ordered by a responsible physician. Surely Daniel, the easygoing Daniel he always claims to be, the jolly face he shows to the world, the man who is certain of all things in his life... sure he isn't suffering from an anxiety-related condition like ulcers or GERD? Critics like myself... those are the folks who are afflicted with that sort of thing, not apologists like Daniel, whose serenity must be legendary. Unless, of course,... underlying all of Daniel's cheefulness and humor, his serenity and surety, is a man who isn't quite as sure of things... important things!... as he'd like us to think.
I wish Daniel only good health and happiness, even though he thinks we're brain dead and stomach acid. Love thine enemies, you know.
