Down/Up
Having survived the flu, I got three consecutive days of health before coming down with a cold.
I'm not too fussed about it. A cold is much easier to endure than what preceded it, and shouldn't keep me down for more than a couple of days. It did mean that I couldn't visit with Dad, today of all days.
Last night, after visiting Dad, D and I stopped briefly at Barnes & Noble. This was around 5:30, and they were closing at 6:00, so there really wasn't time for a good book run; instead, I decided to check out the music section, pick up a few CDs. Sadly, it seems that they no longer have a music section. Rats. Tomorrow or the next day for books.
I'm just lazing around the house today, reading McCullough's book on the Johnstown Flood and eating D out of house and home. D is out at the home at the moment. He's tried calling me a few times, but I seem to have difficulty working these newfangled "cell-phones".... Our most successful contact has been via the LogMeIn connection between his iPad and the laptop I'm typing these words on. Conversation via NotePad....
Ah well. Dolce far niente....
