The right strain is a big plus. Now if only the country had vaccine...

I, on the other hand, got my vaccination appointment right after I read the story: "No Shortage of Flu Vaccine this Year," figuring correctly that in this World of Bush, black is white and yes is no.

And here I am sneezing and coughing and sick, and I heard that and thought, "Crap! It's me!"

K.

Oh no!

Get better fast!

My nose has been out to lunch for the last week and a half. I've always wanted to join the space program, but not this way.
