Everybody who thinks Darien has SARS, raise your hand.

Seriously, whooping cough is no fun. I had it when I was a kid and coughed myself silly. I kept the whole family awake for several nights. They were about to kill me so they could get some sleep. Then my sisters got it.

Right now I am trying to recover from a sinus infection that I brought back from a cruise. My mouth is dry, my ears are plugged and my throat is scratchy. I swear I think most of it is from the medicine. My wife puts the pills out on a saucer and it looks like a double serving of beans. Ah, good health! How I miss it.
