there's few things I hate more

...than a summer cold! Haaaaap-chi! Almost every year I fall prey to some kind of involutary airconditioning, such as earlier this week at the Firm's Dublin office where I spent 5 days sitting under an air vent coughing arctic air on my neck and shoulders. Flying didn't help much so when I arrived yesterday my sore throat had good company: a runny nose and sneezing fits that got worse by the minute. When I got up this morning, I felt rotten and looked worse. Which reminds me of a "compliment" MC recently made: "Hey, you look exactly like I am feeling today". Right.
