How Sweet It Was; How Sweet It Will Be

This was the last time* we will have the great pleasure of listening to w speak a state of the union address.
Or listen to only the last 10 minutes as I was blessed with…really, how could I have forgotten so easily?

*Trust me on this: if you, I or anyone else hear w speak another sotu we are all in really deep shit and will be regretting that we did not pay more attention to exercising the 2nd amendment while we could.


Nasty Business

Ok, more than you might want to know….
It started out one evening a week ago with a slightly scratchy throat; no big deal.
The next night I was out, in bed, gone for 20 hours before I thought I was starting to get better. Ok, a major hit of acute bronchitis. The symptoms seemed to match.
After a day of seeming recovery, it hit again. Alternating fever and low body temperatures; no energy; no, less then no energy; aches; headache; etc. Now it was acting like a particularly virulent flu.
Yesterday and today getting slowly better. Still temperature problems and low energy, cough, and all the other symptoms of a cold.

Whatever the hell this bug is do not get it!
