Things of Note:

Well, whatever flu bug/stomach bug/food poisoning thing I had end of last week and over the weekend is gone now, thank goodness. That was no fun. I don’t have much to report due to that, other than sick days are good for catching up on reading, and the work day is long when you come back from unexpected days out of office. This week it’s work as normal and a brunch gathering this coming weekend.

How are things in your world?
