When I met Kalle in New York, they were just getting over some kind of stomach flu and I really worried that Daniel and I would get just as we left on our various adventures. We traveled by train to Michigan, spent a week and visited the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Then I rubbed shoulders with a hundred people in Virginia while giving a talk. Then we passed through Miami on our way to St. Croix and spent two weeks on island there. But I stayed healthy -- until we got back. Then, within a week of getting home, I came down with a cold.
This has been a pretty nasty cold. A sore throat, runny nose -- the works. This morning, it felt like the mucus had gelled and had moved down into my lungs. By the time I got to work, I was losing my voice and by noon, I could barely croak. So I came home.
Better now, though, than when school starts. With any luck, I'll shake this cold in a few days and then be in good shape when the students come back. Then I can get another one. :-/
