Squirrels are munching, Macaws are squawking. It's morning of the last day of January 2013

This year's flu seems to be unusually bad. I know a lot of people that have gotten really sick this year.

Christy's father is in the hospital with it. Yesterday they moved him out of intensive care and into a regular room so he is getting better. Doesn't help that he is a former smoker with a lot of lung damage.

|idea| We thought about visiting her folks and then we thought about catching the flu. Christy decided that phone calls were much safer.

Oddly this is one of the first years in a long time that I didn't get a flu shot, for no reason at all other than just not getting around to it. I've been using hand sanitizer after touching just about anything. Yesterday at the gym I went through the entire travel size of hand sanitizer that I keep on my gum bag.
