I’ve come down with a horrible summer cold, the kind that makes your head feel like a chunk of moist concrete. Though copious consumption of piping-hot fluids has kept me alive, I can’t claim much more than that: I had to go see Paper Mill Playhouse’s revival of Hello, Dolly! on Saturday night, but all I was good for on Sunday was sitting on the couch and watching old movies.
The good news, of course, is that I have nothing worse than a cold. This is, in fact, the first time I’ve been sick since I got out of the hospital in December. Lousy as I feel–and I do feel lousy–it’s comforting to know that this bug won’t force me to call an ambulance.
For the moment, though, I don’t feel like doing anything but watching TV and pointing you to my contribution to Coudal Partners’ Field-Tested Books series. (For Our Girl’s contribution, go here.)
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go blow my nose. I’ll be back when I’m back.
