I have a fabulous plan for all of you who wish to lose a couple of pounds as per your New Year’s Resolutions. First, come and hang out with me while I cough and hack away and – presumably – pass this very weird virus on to you. Next, wait until the virus settles into […]
Inspiring!
January 7, 2012 by
This weird little Christmas holiday virus seems to be the gift that keeps on giving – every day it’s a new and different symptom, and although I am feeling better – i.e., functional – I am far from being my usual energetic and healthy self. For example, my cough is now almost all gone but my […]
You say you want a resolution
January 4, 2012 by
Well, you know. We all want to change the world. I used to be a dedicated non-resolution-maker, but in the past couple years I have made – and kept! – resolutions at New Year’s. Of course, one of those resolutions was to learn how to bake bread, so it’s not like I’m asking the impossible […]

My mother mentioned yesterday that Mark is always sick at Christmas, which seemed incorrect to […]
