…after three full days cooped up inside sick and wheezing, let me tell you, it’s up there in the pantheon of prime good feelings. I walked down the hill to the ocean and aired out my wheezy lungs. I even stopped thinking about a few things for a minute. The ocean smelled complete. Walking back up the hill I caught some whiffs of burnt toast, which meant the wind was blowing from the west and the coffee shop on the other side of the hill was busy roasting.

With any luck I’ll do this again tomorrow.

ps. Yesterday I came up with some good AIG jokes for you, but I forgot them after I took the TheraFlu Nighttime [sic] Severe Cold & Cough Coated Caplets, which really ought to be called TheraFlu Nighttime Severe Amnesia Cold & Cough Coated Caplets.
