This blog has been quiescent for several days because this author has been battling the worst flu/cold he has suffered in something like 15 years.

Thursday July 6th symptoms began with a nasty cough that made it seem like tiny workmen with sandpaper were busily resurfacing by brachia. I managed to get to my day job on the 7th and after that I was down and out.

Last week was a terrible collage of coughing, hacking, and sweating. I managed to return to work on Friday and even this weekend had far more coughing than I would have cared for.

Now that the worst is behind me, I hope to return to work on my novel and perhaps even make it out to a film.
