I don’t get out much socially any more. In fact, most of my actual friends don’t even live in the same time zone I do, and a couple of them don’t even live in the same country. While this lack of socializing can be a drag sometimes, and does lead to friendships that are more distant that I would either like and that psychologists would say is good for a person, the one advantage is that I tend to stay healthy during the winter. But right now I’m fighting a cold and it’s all thanks to my cousin’s 6 year-old.<\/p>\n
How do we know this? Those of us who spent the least amount of time with her are the least sick. the child’s grandmother, my aunt, is sick as a dog. My mother recovered from “having a nose” in under a day. My Sunday was blown<\/acronym> and I spent Monday jacked up on decongestants, worked half a day, and spent the other half lying on the couch unable to sleep. Yesterday I worked<\/acronym> and, so, I figured, if I’m well enough to work, I’m well enough to curl in the usual Tuesday league I play in.<\/p>\n And this morning I have more snot and a scratchy throat, so it’s back to the decongestants and being well enough, with luck, to play in the Saturday Breakfast Extravaganza<\/acronym> this week.<\/p>\n As such, I’m not feeling quite up to a sterling analysis of journalism and politics, nor am I up to discussing why the flat tax is a bad idea, though both of those things are on the block for the next 20 days. But I did commit to 30 days and 30 blog entries so, until I get my brain back, check out the iRock I built<\/a> as part of my effort to finally actually learn JavaScript. The iRock is an exercise from Headfirst JavaScript<\/a><\/em> which is the only book in the more than a decade I’ve been working as a web professional that has managed to make JavaScript even vaguely learnable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t get out much socially any more.
