Quick update, which may or may not be coherent: sorry about the lack of new posts. I have something resembling the flu, which basically entails:
- A 103 degree fever.
- Ridiculous, violent chills and shuddering.
- Random, instantaneous sweating.
- Feet that literally emit enough heat that I can feel it radiating onto the opposite leg.
- No appetite.
- Spontaneous tearing-up at a Marines commercial because I keep thinking of my son going overseas, far away from me.
- A strange affinity for green Rain Gatorade and root beer floats.
- A degree of stupidity so severe that I still played in my company golf outing this morning, despite waking up at 2 AM with a 103.4 degree fever. It rained most of the time.
- A newfound compunction to watch shitty Lions preseason football.
More content coming as soon as I realize I won’t pass out if I stay upright.

It definitely sounds like a virus. Rest,and fluids are what you need. Nutrition would be helpful if you can eat. Hope you get well soon.

AH-HAH! See, Mac (users) do get viruses!
@Bill, what are you a doctor or something? Oh, you are… OK, I shut up now.
I just want to know how // August 26, 2007 at 6:51 pm
James, I just want to know what he shot at the outing.
I am not very good. I was swinging too hard and snapped a Taylor Made Bubble burner [my buddy's favorite club, but I bought him the Titanium version at the club house], then my Big Bertha Warbird, a Christmas present, which they replacxed for free in one day! Needless to say, I quit, especially after the wife had 3 kids in less than 11 months. Then the minivan came.
