A Seasonal Haiku
Muscle aches, headache and snot.
Influenza sucks.
It’s been a fine weekend and confirms my love of October. Today was the kind of day that makes fall the best season of all. It was bright, just a tad nippy out, and the leaves just had a hint of red and yellow to them. Foliage season is coming, but fall is definitely here….
I’ve been hanging out around the wrong people. I do not dream. I haven’t remembered dreams since I was a kid, with very rare exceptions. I’m proud of the fact that I ordinarily drop off to a black unconciousness in which no deep, buried thoughts rise to bother me each night. Last night I dreamed….
Twelve years ago Father’s day was Sunday, June 17th. I know because my father died on Father’s Day in 1990. He’d missed dying by heart attack in 1970. He missed dying by stroke in 1972.

Did you get the flu?
