Sick and Tired

...and tired of being sick.

Okay, this is now the second time that both Alex and I are sick at the same time.

Here's what happened. Saturday, we were both in Salem, MA as part of our Boston trip. How was Beantown, you ask? Well, that's another blog entry....

Anyway, we get up to Salem and a nice steady rain has been going on for about 5 hours now. Not heavy, but steady. We park the car and run to the Salem Witch Museum where Alex was pressed against the wall and I was standing in front of her to block as much of the rain as I could with myself.

"Why the hell would you stand outside when it was raining?" one might ask. Well, the line went out the door. Halloween weekend in Salem is the busiest time of their year, of course.

So Saturday evening, when driving back to Boston (I was taking the, ahem, scenic route) my throat started to feel scratchy and the next day, I was feeling pretty miserable. I started to take some Tylenol cold medicine (which is really good stuff!) on Monday. Tuesday, Alex started to feel pretty lousy as well.

Today I'm feeling pretty good...but I know I'm not 100%, no sir, not by a longshot. Alex sounds worse than she is, but still is feeling yucky.

When we ran up to the Museum, the doorkeeper was standing outside and looked at us. He said, in a thick Boston accent: "No umbrella....no overcoat.......no comment."

Yeah, didn't see this one coming...
