I haven’t had a cold in two years (to the day almost), and I thought I would skate into 2008 without one. But it was not to be.  Anyway….Please Please, Please….if you are sick, STAY HOME – do not go to work, do not attend parties, do not go to movie theaters. There are people out there immuno-compromised with all manner of life-threatening illness and medical treatments, for whom your cold could be deadly. And you may not even infect them directly, since the person you give it to may (will) certainly pass in on.

So, the last couple of days of 2008 are being spent under the “blankie”, watching TV and eating chicken soup…..for both me and my wife.
