All Rights Reserved.   Slow Exposure, 1974 © 1974 by Bud Grossmann PROCEEDING SLOWLY If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing slowly . . . very slowly. Gypsy Rose Lee I am sick sick sick. Sore throat. Lungs making a sound like ball bearings vibrating across a sheet of tin with each breath I take. Half a day ago I took the first doses of codeine- based cough syrup and an antibiotic. The throat pain is slightly diminished, but the ball bearings continue to rattle. Sick sick sick sick sick! Miserable!  ♦ See a list of other Words of the Week Bud would welcome your thoughts on this Words of the Week (or any others). Give your e-mail address if you would like Bud to reply.
