Death's Door

When I unwrapped this present yesterday, I was delighted with it - as a product of one of the States I visited earlier in the year.  What I didn't realise was that just seven hours later this (the condition described - not the State) was where I would be, with a sudden attack of what has unkindly been described as "man flu." I must stress that my symptoms have nothing in common with those of seasonal excess.  

Thus, today I don't think I will be venturing out.  Tomorrow, however, I have to drive my Dad to Lancaster for lunch with the family so I hope to be in tip top condition by then. In the meantime, I may have to medicate myself with some of Wisconsin's finest.
