Le Flu

Cold.  Shivering. Turban round my head. Didn't get a flu shot!  We have no heat because the ancient furnace broke down 4 years ago, and since the house was built in the 1920s, replacement would be ridiculously expensive. Plus Brian Williams is beginning to scare me!  (Can't he shut up about how *deadly* flu can be for even one broadcast?)  And I certainly don't understand how all those movie stars showed up at the Golden Globes with their icy pale publicity-seeking chests exposed to the cold cold air.  

Speaking of publicity, I can hardly wait for the Lance Armstrong *Mea Culpa* on Oprah.  How culpa will he be?  Not a lot, I reckon.
