Pneumonia or bust!

Spent too much time splayed out on a couch, drousy, wondering if I've got Flu, a sinus infection or pneumonia. Bored out of my head.

Argh.

There's an idea stuck in my head, a thing that Harlan Ellison wrote in a story titled Grail:

"I know my true friend will appear after my death, and my sweetheart died before I was born." -- Tanaka Katsumi.

Not remembering which story this was in, I Googled. Google confirmed my memory. Google also showed me this, again, by Harlan Ellison:

The great tragedy of my life is that in my search for the Holy Grail everyone calls True Love, I see myself as Zorro, a romantic and mysterious highwayman - and the women I desire see me as Porky Pig.
Grail (1981)
