The word was inner.
And at least one person needs to brush up on their cultural idioms.

I sometimes read the BBC site for news from a different perspective. I find it interesting the stories they choose to cover and what they have to say. A surprising number of them involve events here, but the spelling can sure be different.

Cardinals win, Seahawks lose. That puts the Cards on top of the NFC West. Crazy, especially when they've had to play all three of their QB's due to injuries, and are missing their best defensive players for the same reason.
(I don't think the Cards are the best team in the division. I'm not sure they're the second best.)

We get a break on our health insurance through Pam's job if we go for a health screening, and mine is scheduled for tomorrow morning. It takes all of 15 minutes and involves answering some questions, getting a BP check, a weigh-in, and a blood draw. In six weeks or so I'll get a form in the mail with the results. For this we get a discount of several hundred dollars over the course of a year.
I'm not sure why. I suppose it could uncover some unknown problem so that early intervention would save the insurance company some money, but I'm guessing almost everyone gets told what they already know:
Lose weight, get more exercise, lower your cholesterol....

It's Sunday evening. Football and/or 60 Minutes. After that it doesn't really matter because I'll be nearing zombie land anyway.
I'll be back tomorrow. Promise.
