I’ve been sick since last Saturday, I spent new years eve and day on the couch in a sleeping bag rated for 15F (-6C). I’m still sick, it’s been 5 days, so I did a search on google for flu and 5 days and found this, MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: The flu. Apparently it can go on for 10 days, this is the first flu i’ve suffered from that made me cognizant of how it could badly effect old people…. even people in their mid 30′s. Ironic that the term influenza is so close to influence, it’s so contagious, you may even say “viral”.
Of course there is a whole wiki dedicated to it called the fluwiki.com, I can’t believe the logo they chose:
On the bright side I did get out of the house today and against all advice had my first cup of coffee in 5 days, i must be on the mend.

KArl,
I knew you’d catch something off all those liberals out there in San Francisco… if you had moved there directly from Cambridge your antibodies wouldn’t be so low.
Well they say to feed a cold and starve a fever, so go to the Crescent City Diner for big breakfast when you can… and use plenty of hotsauce!
