...not being wracked with fever and chills. A wierd 24 hours for me-24 hours ago, I would have welcomed a shotgun blast to the head, and now today I want to live again.

I'm reading John Updike's "Bech" collection, and enjoying it immensely. Henry Bech is a writerly alter ego for Updike, a writer who talks and thinks about writing in a delicious way. I have two other library books, another Updike and a Batman book, but I am pretty sure I am going to finish Bech and then turn right into the Rabbit books, which I have all in one volume but I haven't read in a while.

Ken Burns' "Baseball" ended tonight on the MLB Network. Reportedly, it is going to be shown again on PBS in May, along with the debut of a Tenth Inning, covering the history from the time of the film (1994) until now.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but suddenly I can't tolerate the cold any more. I'm sick of shivering. I want it to be spring.

If Republicans are really going to stand there and insist that stimulus payments are the wrong way to go for America, they should at least have enough courage to turn all of the money down.

In general, I have the feeling, in terms of the economy, like I'm the only guy whose house didn't get destroyed by the tornado. Everything's fine, sort of, where I am. I keep hearing about terrible things that have happened, but it doesn't look too bad from here.

And now, a word from my sponsor, the late, great Bill Hicks
I think it is less to do with age and more to do with the crappy weather these days. It's cold and windy and now the cycle of sickness has made it's way around again. Spring time promises warmer days and subsequently we pray this means all the colds and viruses and what not will fade away with winter. Glad you are feeling better!
