In the past, I quit jobs that required me to fly around the country because I always took cold on airplanes. That hasn't changed.<BR/><BR/>The Beaver, as CHM says, <I>tous les âges ont leurs joies</I>. I keep repeating that one to myself in my head.<BR/><BR/>Loulou, thanks. The blanquette was good the first time. We are going to have some again tomorrow. It's one of those dishes that are better the second time around, they say.

It's all those people with all their germs, stuck in a confined space with poor air circulation. I think of it as part of the cost of travel. <BR/><BR/>On turning 60, many, many, many happy returns of the day.

What choice do I have? The alternative... well, you know. And the other 60s were a lot of fun, in some ways.<BR/><BR/>Evelyn, hi, I guess the cold did get started while I was there. I hope I didn't give it to you, Lew, and Laurie. Are you OK?<BR/><BR/>Justin, thanks. It's nice to be home.<BR/><BR/>Melinda, I think I had a fever for a couple of days back in N.C., but I don't have one now. So I'm optimistic this cold won't hold on for weeks.<BR/><BR/>Weather is gorgeous today but it's supposed to be a rainy weekend.

Or do I mean 40? <BR/><BR/>When my grandmother visited her father-in-law in the nursing home, another resident asked how old she was, and when my grandma said 70-whatever, the older lady said "You're just a peepee!" So it's all relative.<BR/><BR/>Just so you know, "peepee" is the term for baby chick where I grew up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-54942144620424834422009-03-06T14:17:00.000+01:002009-03-06T14:17:00.000+01:00Sorry about that cold, Ken.
