Sick for the holidays? Not if I can help it.

It's weird, but it seems that for most of the previous ten holiday seasons I've been with Stephanie, I've been sick. The first one, back in '94, was absolutely horrible. I swear we both got Ebola that year. Not fun.

Last year was the third of that ten that I wasn't sick. In fact, aside from a minor cold late last summer, I haven't really been sick at all since Christmas 2002. That's a long record of not being sick, perhaps the longest in all of my life.

Today I noticed some little aches, my teeth hurt, I'm just a little phlegmy, and I just don't feel right. That's no good. I don't want to be sick for the holiday because it's become a cliche.

Fortunately, I had some Ben & Jerry's Organic Fudge Brownie ice cream, and I'm already feeling better.

Don't celebrate just yet; The holidays aren't over yet.

I think they put medicine in that ice cream guaranteed to make you feel better.
