Sick, sick, sick. I have been felled by the first flu of the season. I won't get into the sordid details except to say, "Buy stock in Kleenex." In regard to Mercury being in retrograde, which I mentioned the other day, I am now a true believer. The two main characteristics of this astrological period (which is supposed to last for 3 more weeks) are problems with commmunication between people and breakdowns of mechanical things.

So guess what happened Friday?
