Re: [at-l] You too?

Well, your note is a day early than the CDC report that this years flu 
season will peak in January, a full month early. Yes, we are seeing a 
number of pulmonary symptoms, myalgias, arthralgias, fevers, and the rest. 
The elderly are particularly effected by it, as most got flu shots later 
than we knew advisable (actually, we didn't quite know it until August).

So, wash your hands, tell others to cover their mouths if they cough, and 
keep the fluids and Aspirins flowing (assuming you get an okay from your 
real world doctor). This will be a problem this year, regardless of the 
sincerity of your holidays' greetings.  ;-)

BTW, has anyone else enjoyed the third quarter moon the past couple of 
mornings?
