Pandemonium

May 19, 2007

I am feeling better today than I have felt since Monday. It’s still hard for me to laugh without having it turn into a protracted cough, but the congestion has cleared out of my ears and I have no more fever.
I’m liking this new location, though the stats seem like fiction to me. 112 people [...]

Unfortunately, I’ll be out of town for the Joan O concert.  I’m comforting myself that earlier that week, Joan Armatrading will be appearing at World
