Saturday 13 Dec 2008 Observations

If your eyes haven't given out on you looking at my Collected Links post, you should know that is only a fraction of what I would have emailed in my earlier days. Mostly, it is a day-by-day collection of what's happening outside the Doghouse.

What's happening inside the Doghouse is that I've got another episode of DeathBug. Had to go in Friday, and get antibiotics for ten days. The wind is howling outside, the doggie is frustrated that he's not going out, or getting cheeseburgers, and I've been reviewing my internet participation, with regards to real life.

I ran a Traveller game on Monday. Andy managed to turn things to the group's advantage, as usual.

As a result, I've started to re-discover Traveller. T5 is coming out, and I would like to look at the new Mongoose canon. Andy and Paul, of course, track everything, but I've got the better part of a decades worth of reading up to do.

My assistant leaves for his new job 2 JAN 09. My boss leaves for his next deployment this spring. I'm running out of people to annoy... :)

I'm probably too sick to make my church meeting Sunday. Not a very moral thing to do, to make everyone else sick.

So, I'm stuck with the internet for the rest of the weekend. Time to hit all the Traveller sites.

Welcome to winter.

I'm sorry to hear you had the Death Bug. Now - does it start with weakness and tiredness and shortness of breath? And move on to indigestion as if you'd had bad food? (With aches and pains and weakness and tiredness etc) and then fade away, with the tiredness leaving last?

If so, I caught it, too. Antibiotics? It's a bacteria and not just a winter virus? Or do you have some thing a lot nastier? Anyway, best wishes for a full recovery.

Thanks for the kind thought, Badger.

Actually, it started after Election Day in the GI tract, migrated into the upper respiratory system, then hung on and recurred as weakness, the very occasional sore throat, headaches, and severe congestion.

It seems to be rampant, around here. With my wacky job, and little time off, the natural result is that I can't get a full week off to recover. Monday Morning Always Comes.

So, I spent Thanksgiving horizontal (helped a bit), and I expect that Christmas will be the same.

The doggie is happy to have me to himself, but frustrated with cabin fever/cheesburger deprivation. :)

It's winter.

Wally.
