I was supposed to be headed to the 'Shoe today for what I think will be a very good one. It just didn't work.

First I had a very good AA seat a student had agreed to sell me on Craig's list. Then I got the email...."The student's buddy had decided to use the ticket"...so I couldn't buy that one. Still, thought I had another one lined up and never heard back from that guy, during which time a different one I could have had evaporated. 0 for 3!

Never mind I said, I'll go down and find one down there. But last night all of a sudden that scratchy sore throat started slowly creeping in....the one that sneaks up and says "Don't look now buddy, but you're about to be big time miserable"

It is now 4:45 AM Sat morning and I can't sleep cause I can't swallow and can't cough it up. Looks like the Buckeyes are not the only one besieged by the bug and I think my couch is the responsible place to be this afternoon.
