Spring Fever (and Sore Throat, Headache, Dizzyness)

I am in the process of recovering from a very nasty cold-flu-type thing. My sinuses drip like a slow-melting icicle and my metaphors hurt almost as much as my head and gulllet combined. The only upside of this is my diet: Today I have eaten seven oranges, a packet of cough drops, some yogurt and approximately one dozen Fudgsicles.

I blame United Airlines, which-- thanks to "weather" delays and general incompetence-- turned a five-hour trip from Clinton, Iowa, to Cambridge into a 24-hour-long ordeal. I will refrain from reliving the experience, which ended yesterday, on blog. Just know that you should avoid the airline totally.

I remain very loyal to United, which was very good to me once on a flight from Santiago to Miami (I doubt you have forgotten that story). -BB

Poor Pooja... I won't poo-poo your symptoms.
United should be called "Untied" as they seem to be falling apart. On the way back from visiting Shadi and Bobby in Hong Kong, I was summoned from the rear of the craft to evaluate a man who had fainted in the torpid squalor of coach class. Our flight was already delayed, and my Good Samaratinism caused us to miss our connection to LAX (which is an appropriate abbreviation as LAX needs a LAXative, they're so FOS, medicalese for full of S#@t.) Did I mention we were toting 2 tired children and enough luggage to supply a small African country with clothing? Bottom line, we waited 4 hours standing in line to get booked on another flight. Simnple communication could have eased this dilemma.

Anyway, I atruly hope you feel better and commiserate. Lol (lots of love) Priya
"Dizziness" is not spelled "dizzyness." The grammar police will surely give me a ticket for my many prior trangressions, so

Priya, did you at least get an upgrade after helping the ill and unwashed in coach?

How are your preparations for Jeopardy coming along? I take it you are memorising all the trivial pursuit questions and answers you can get your hands on...

Pooj, sorry to hear you're ill - a shot of whisky I think should do the trick.
