It’s that time of the year when everybody starts freaking out over the flu. The likely vaccine shortage will raise the freak-out quotient a bit more than usual. I’m not worried because my employer will be offering free flu shots and I’m considered a high-risk candidate for flu complications. However, about five years ago I did get a shot and still came down with a nasty flu bug that landed me in the hospital for a week. Medicine offers few guarantees, but I’ll still get vaccinated because my odds of avoiding the flu are better with it than without it. I know that I have to check out of this life at some point, but I’ll be damned if a microscopic strand of RNA is going to do me in.
WBAY, a television station in my hometown of Green Bay, mistakenly ran an AP report on its website claiming that Bush won the election. The station apologized for the mistake, but does the AP know something we don’t?
If you buy me the book pictured at right, you’ll be my bestest friend ever.
Given the news about the vaccine shortage, I asked my employer if they were thinking of cancelling their program for the healthy 20- and 30-somethings who work here (the implication being that they should). They replied that it would be tough, but they’d try to keep the program running!
Fortunately they cancelled it yesterday.
Ummm, what book?
I have it. I’ll give it to you when I’m done. Or, I’ll bring it over on Monday when I come to watch the game.
