Life appears to go on

At last report, your hero was down two games to none in the seven-game cold series, and the next couple of days were pretty unpleasant, but I'm definitely recovering now.  I managed to get out of the house to do some vital errands (like restocking on cold medicine!) yesterday, and a little while ago I actually managed to walk around the block.  It seemed like a prettly long mile, but it was good.  And as I came into the home stretch, I saw a robin, so even though it felt colder and bleaker than most of this winter so far, I guess spring really is coming.
