I have the beginnings of the flu I am told. I hope that it doesn't get any worse. It isn't that bad right now. I'm taking a decongestant to keep my sinuses clear. I can already feel the relative heaviness in my chest, so it has already moved in there. I have three more days of work so I hope I am somewhat better by then. I'm not too concerned about my usefulness when they are going to let me go.

On the recreation side, I've gone to Alki Beach twice with my metal detector. So far I've found some junk metal, two quarters, two dimes, a nickel and a bunch of pennies. I need the wherewithal to complete this quasi-retirement shtick.
