Hmmm.... let's see if I can remember how to use this here blog. Was knocked out of commission by a nasty head cold last week (no flu, fortunately, swine or otherwise). I'm usually pretty invulnerable to colds, but I guess I'm getting weaker in my old age. I will no longer tease the Martians in War of the Worlds for getting wiped out by the common cold. And I will wash my hands even more, if that's possible.

Fortunately I have an infinite capacity for watching television. I spent almost an entire day watching nothing but season one of Jericho on the Sci-Fi channel. Yesterday, I was feeling a lot better, so we decorated the tree while watching all my childhood favorite Christmas specials.

Now I'm back at work, still not feeling 100%, and facing a huge pile of things to do.
