Day umpteen of The Little Chest Cold That Won’t Go Away. I have expect my work-pal Denice to call me up tomorrow (vacation day) and say, “I can hear you coughing. Will you live?” She can hear me clear across the department, so what’s another 3 miles or so.

The cold and The Cold are triggering asthma attacks, too. I have a routine: cough myself blue, use inhaler, clear lungs and shake for an hour, collapse in a heap. I’ve been taking many lovely naps with Laddie Boy, but my kids are starting to run the house without me. At least they are trapped inside, due to the below zero temps.

What I really need right now is a three-week trip to Guangzhou. The weather is getting warm there and a bit humid — just what I need to steam-bake my lungs. Some time sitting on the patio at Lucy’s, drinking lots of beer. It’s just what the doctor ordered. Too bad the doctor didn’t order a lottery win, too.

    The Vikings should have gone to the SuperBowl so that you could have won tickets through a radio contest… then you could have made a trip to Arizona to warm you up a little. I think we were around 65 for a high today. Plus, it’s sunny… you do remember the sun, right? 🙂 Hope you feel better soon!!
