Me Be Illin’

by Sean Hackbarth

There will only be one post tonight. That’s because I’m sick. My initial guess was strep throat because my father had it a few days ago, but my throat is feeling better. Now, my head is stuffy, and I have aches and pains.

But no pity for me please. I’ll be fine. To make it appear that this is a serious post, here’s Glenn Reynolds on the Santorum sodomy spat (pretty good aliteration for a guy with a congested head?), and Newt Gingrich went off on the State Department.

For your amusement, Big Head Todd and the Monsters have just released some rare songs on MP3. Unlike file sharing, this is both legal and ethical. Have at them, they should be good.

You need a remedy yah. For what is ailing you.

BRANDY. Paul Masson is my brand of choice, usually you can get it for about $16.99 for a 1.75L bottle and there is a $5 rebate so $11.99 ain’t bad. And it tastes better and is smother than Christian Brothers, and close to E&J. Okay, so it’s french, but you’re sick. Gotta fix ya.

I have had little sleep in the past 24 hours. Sitting upright+little leg room+crying 4-year old+8 hour flight = little sleep. Hope to get to bed in about 4 hours and go all the way through until morning.

Off to the pub…

Hope you feel better soon, Sean. Drink as much apple juice as you can hold. The store brand is fine, doesn’t have to be fancy. The vitamin C apparently is good for you … when I was a little girl and my mother was in the ICU they wouldn’t let me see her because of my soar throat. Our maid, Mildred, straight outta the Ozarks, chewing tobacco and all, took me to the store and poured apple juice down me for two days. I was well enough to go see my mother after that. For that reason, I now swear by it.

Take care.

Thanks for the remedy ideas. I’m getting better. Stuff is draining from my head. I’m a little bummed because I can’t use illness to try the brandy AND apple juice combo. Maybe next time.
