It’s wonderful having a cold on a week when it’s over 90°F in Portland. I suppose it’s not all that pleasant at any time.

I don’t know how I got the cold. Perhaps it was staying out too late on Saturday, seeing all those ex-sorority girls who were mean to me 10-20 years ago. Perhaps it was hanging out with Megan on Monday, and drinking two whole beers. More likely it was because I rode the bus on Monday.

So I’ve been staying at work late and haven’t made it to the gym. So basically, it’s kind of serendipitous, having a cold, having backup sysadmin duty when Microsoft releases WindowsXP SP2, and the temperature being too hot to exercise.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIKO!
