First and foremost, my brother's sporting mild flu-like symptoms.  My mom keeps trying to say it's actual influenza, but last we all checked, no actual cases were reported in Maryland.  But anyhow, I'm heading up there soon to be 'mom' for the day as my own mother is out bowling and getting groceries for my aunt, who has full-blown...flu...
