Sorry for the Vanishing Act

Sick. Again. This time with, believe it or not, the flu. The real thing. Influenza. Even got to take Tamiflu. Today was the first day I've been out of bed in nearly a week. And I still feel like shit, but at least today it's sort of a normal "feel like shit" instead of a "feel like shit that got run over by a truck full of shit". Anyway, this is the first chance that I've had to turn on my computer ... and I'm staying on just long enough to post this message before going back to bed. At least I've managed to catch up on some TV and some reading.
