Con Crud
Last week in Montreal, a lot of people were getting sick toward the end of the convention, the usual Con Crud that starts to spread when germs congregate from all over the world and then spread through a sleep-deprived Con population that has been living for a week on caffeine and stale danish. As I left for home, I thought I'd been spared. But it hit me a couple days after I got home, and I've been down with it for days. I'm feeling quite a bit better now. The fever is gone; I just have this lingering cough.
