Sniff

I suppose that, if you're going to come down with a cold, it's better to do so on a weekend than during the work week. :hack sniff:

My discontent is mitigated by the arrival of my latest booty from Amazon. Contents:

Marcus Rediker, Villains of All Nations, a history of early 18th century Atlantic piracy;
Erik Midelfort, Mad Princes of Renaissance Germany;
Robert Paxton, The Anatomy of Fascism;
Gregory Maguire, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West;
Robert Charles Wilson, Spin;
S. M. Stirling, Dies the Fire;
Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games columns, collected on a single CD;
and two music CDs, Bela Fleck's Live Art and Kicks! by Paul Revere and the Raiders.

Fortunately, I don't have to be healthy to reorganize my musical playlists. :kaff kaff:
