This is a great commercial brought to my attention by my mom. Wishing you all the best for 2007, I hope yours will be filled with happiness, health and prosperity…and maybe that you’ll try something new.

Sick Week, Busy Weekend

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Had a pretty busy weekend after a week of being mostly sick. I woke up Monday (after being around a lot of kids at Merry Main Street on Saturday) with a very sore throat and feeling pretty bad. The past, oh, 6 or 7 times that happened, it was strep throat. It was also a pretty busy day at work. I stayed home and returned some phone calls and responded to some e-mails. By then it was after lunch, and I was pretty tired so I did what I had wanted to do all morning: take a nap. I woke up at 4:30 (too late to head to my doctor’s office) feeling much worse. It was official: I was sick! The next day, I made sure to get to the doctor. Usually when I see her and tell her my symptoms, she looks in my throat and recoils at what she sees and says, “yep, that’s strep,” and gives me a prescription for an antibiotic. I feel better about 12 hours after I take the first one…knocks it right out. This time, my throat wasn’t terribly red. She gave me a swab test and it was negative. So, she just said, “whatever it is should clear up in a few days, if not come see me again.” I went home and slept, then ended up going to work on Wed but still not feeling well. Being away from work any longer was going to make things really difficult for me, though. Thurs I almost felt right, but I had a “frog” in my throat all day. Friday I woke up feeling great, but with no voice and I had to whisper most of the day (although it got me out of phone calls).

Getting Some Religion

Monday, December 4th, 2006

ericclapton-27774.jpgOn Friday, I happened to be flipping through the radio stations while I was in the car. I generally don’t listen to commercials, but I happened to hear one on KZPS 92.5 (a classic rock station) on Friday. It was promoting an upcoming Eric Clapton concert, and it was my first notice of the show and the fact that tickets would be on sale on Saturday.
