I am alive. I am not dead. Through inference of my living and not dying, I am immortal. Or at least that seems to be the rationale my mind offers for why I remain unafraid of life threatening illnesses, car crashes, plane crashes, shootings, murderers and random accidents. Even as the shadow of death looms […]
As I posted a few days ago, I have the flu, acquired from my oldest daughter who tested positive for Influenza, Strain B on Friday night. Due to knowing she had come down with the flu precisely beginning Friday morning – they were able to give her Tamiflu – an anti-viral med they can prescribe […]
