Yeah! That's how I feel! Julia and I are recovering from another bout of sickness in two months. It is my second and her third in the same amount of time. As I recall the year 2005, I like to think of all that happened in terms of when I was sick. Do you remember the Harriet Miers attempted nomination to the Supreme Court? Mmm, I do. It was a glorious upper respiratory bronchial infection. And the death of dear Rosa Parks? I remember that cold. What about Hurricane Katrina? There was a mighty wind in my bronchial tubes again. Yes, bronchitis. The beloved Pope John Paul II went to the big Vatican in the sky while I was puking my guts out, a food poisoning of some kind. What about our glorious return to that final frontier we call space with the launch of the space shuttle Discovery? That's right, some sort of bacterial infection that causes coughing, congestion, and fever. I was sick a total of 7 times last year. Despite the fact that I am not one to get sick (at all), I'll live I guess. But this year has begun like last. Should I ever forget the Judge Alito hearings, all I'll have to do is remember the aching pain in my chest with sides of cough and headaches top with fever and sweats and there you have it.
I will say this, when you are sick, cable telivision would be a good thing. Maybe one of these days we'll have more than four half-received stations. Until then . . . may all your viruses be short lived and all your bacterial infections become a thing of the past.

Maybe your sickness is related to current events. It could be that the excitement of space exploration and the Supreme Court are too much for you to handle. You might want to think about exposing yourself to smaller news stories like the installation of new road signs and cold fronts moving in. Then try increasing your level of access to larger things, but slowly of course. But seriously, I hope you feel better.
never fear brother...weeping only lasts for the night--at least I think I heard that in church somewhere. In the meantime, do not breath on me or my familt. Grace and Peace upon your immune system.
Thank God for long distances! Maybe you should ask Pat Robertson if you've done anything wrong. He seems to have the inside for John's family sicknesses. Until then stick with the smaller stories like Ben said. Blessings.
