Me sick

Having a cold in the age of the internet gives you none of the TV-watching, bed-resting benefits. You’re typing and clicking just a little more slowly than usual.

    I recommend Zicam. I can only back it with anecdotal evidence, so I won’t even bother.

    I envision John August as a screenwriting T-1000, with a viral John Connor turning using a flu-like fire extinguisher to slowly…slow…him…down.

    You should always warm up before you stretch your metaphors.

    This is true. Technology enables us to do many great things we could not do before… Unfortunately, that list of things includes being able to work pretty much anywhere, anytime, regardless of your current circumstances.

    Feel better, John.

    Something in the LA air….Keep an eye on your stomach… if it’s the same thing I caught, it’ll hit you hard for a day or two. Not fun.

    Feel better. I have been sick since Wednesday. When will it end.

    Get better, man! And type as slow as you need [smile].
