AUSTIN, Texas, Mar. 1, 2006 — Otherwise some links will break. Otherwise I might not be considered by readers I don't care about anyway. "If you haven't posted this month...."

Yeah I feel compelled to start the month with an entry.

The problem is I have nothing to say. I really spent the day recovering from whatever struck me on Sunday night. At least I hope I have recovered. I think I'm definitely on my way.

I don't believe in being sick. But today I actually napped in my chair, watched movies (a couple of so-so rentals I got from Net Flix: Primer and Charlotte Gray). I reveled in being sick. Sort of. I drank orange juice (although I cut it with club soda...OJ is too sweet for me)

and I drank a bubbly Airborne herbal cure and I drank Chamomile tea. I sat around in grubby shorts and T-Shirt and didn't shower or groom.

I did make it to the gym but while the recumbent bike ride and sweating made me feel better, it also made me sleeepy and weak feeling.

We didn't have anything we had to do today. I worked on organizing a party for my dad's ninetieth...months from now. Mostly I went through the motions, a little bit in a fog of some weird and hopefully ephemeral illness.
