Absolutely.  There’s nothing like living in the moment - and appreciating the little things — to help the mind-body run smoothly (intestines included) .  (metaphysical Metamucil?)
Practicing law seems like a good way to exacerbate Crohn’s disease.  I hope the swVa legal scene is kinder and gentler than elsewhere, and that chronic weblogging doesn’t keep you from listening to your body needs and complaints.
Hope you’ll get back to this neighborhood, Steve.  Be well.

You saying I should try haiku for Crohn’s disease?

That would be the typically lawyer-like thing to do, wouldn’t it, fuzzying up distinctions between unlike quantities and qualities? Not a half bad idea, though I am trying hard not to succumb to it in the appellate brief that I am drafting as I very pointedly am not posting to my weblog today.

I wonder what wine goes best with cold turkey…

Gee, George, you could put me in both sections, kind soul and lover or ambiguities that you are.  As you know, I’m hoping that people (lawyers, even) who would not otherwise be looking for poetry — or think of themselves as poetry lovers — will stop or stumble by this weblog and get hooked on haiku. 
Grumpy haiku could be fun, so watch this space.

I suppose this means I’ll need to move you off of my legal links list and in to the poetry section, where you will be most welcome. Peace upon you, dude, and don’t even think of taking up the challenge of writing grumpy haiku (if such a thing is possible).
