Sickness Alert

To all and sundry, I've been laid low with what the British call a "lurgy" and what we commonly know as the flu. I've a good blog in mind I'm working up (thanks for the idea, Matt), and I hope to be clear-headed enough to resume normal production tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm mellowing on a 1/2 milk-1/2 cognac mixture which the Spaniards and the Italians swear by for chest infections.

Normal service resuming on Thursday.
