Is It Spring Yet?
A couple of hours ago I felt my throat starting to get scratchy. This would be my third cold in about six weeks. There’s nothing like relentless damp weather, swinging temperatures, and a five year old to batter the ol’ immune system. It’s not doing a whole lot to brighten my mood, either, not that the news is doing anything to help.
I’ve gotten word from several of the schools I teach at that there’s an effort to encourage people to wear orange and maroon, Virginia Tech’s colors, on Friday. The maroon won’t be much of a problem, but I’m gonna have to see if I can track down some orange tomorrow.
