Non-Posting Notice

Nothing from me today. I seem to have picked up a fever late yesterday and spent all last night with hot flashes and sweats, giving over to the chills this morning. However, I don't think it's going to last too long, and an afternoon curled up alone with juice, coffee, aspirin and a book should be sufficient to quash it.

And perhaps even listening to the sound of rain later, courtesy of Tropical Storm Ophelia. I sympathize with the LMC (who is much more directly in her path), and it's probably impolitic to say so at the moment, but the truth is that I've been hoping we might pick something up out of her for some time. My little corner of Northern Virginia hasn't seen a drop of rain in weeks and we really rather need it.

Yip at you later.

UPDATE: To quote Charlie Brown after he got hit by a line drive one time, "I'm dying and all I hear are insults!"

Sounds like menopause.

Shee-oot Robbo, you can even make illness into a literary review.

Well anyway, hope you're feeling better.

I hate to do it, but I have to agree with sounds like menopause.

Maybe if you traded your Jeep in on a Miata that'd help?

I call dibs on your music and book collections.

Feel better, Robbo. I'll get chapter 8 posted by end of business today - just for you.

Yes, get well soon.

Glad I'm not the only one. I hadn't heard any of my friends complaining when I came down with this, so it was kinda out of the blue.

I'm guessing it's hysterical pregnancy, probably brought on by the fact that Britney Spears is giving birth at this very moment. If only juice, coffee, aspirin and a book had been enough to nip that project in the bud...
