And on the fifth day of this crud, I have the worst of this crud. <\/p>\n

The good news being that, soon, I’ll be on the other side of it. The bad news being that I haven’t slept all week. Though I did find a nap today. <\/p>\n

And then I spent most of the day complaining about my head: my head cold, my sinuses, my headaches and all. It just goes on and on. <\/p>\n

And then I spent 20 minutes listening to Davis’ other stuff<\/a>. Fascinating.<\/p>\n

Couldn’t pick just one Earth, Wind & Fire song to end with, so here’s the Greatest Hits, Volume 1, off a vinyl transfer, as it should be:<\/p>\n
