Despite getting a flu shot, I caught it and have been as sick since Wednesday evening. Susan's been loading me up on DayQuil and NyQuil and each time I think I'm feeling better, it wears off and I get the chills and feel like I'm seasick. Great weekend to watch football.

I found these old karate foot pads in a thrift store today. I wanted to buy them but my wife said they would end up with her getting kicked accidentally. She was right.

While the new Anaconda movie has giant plot holes and requires you to check your brain at the door, there were two or three scenes that had the entire theater loudly laughing outloud. Fun way to kill a couple of hours over the holiday break.
