by node id all stubbed ubd! In other words, I have a head cold. Started out as a sore throat thingy, but now my room is a blanket of white tissues. I have proceeded to use up my family's supply of Kleenex, and now am starting in on the TP. (ouch, my poor nose...) My life feels stuffed up at the moment; I haven't worn my contact since contracting this stuff and my vision is awfully blurred. I need some chicken soup...

Besides having a carpet of tissue, I've also been reading some books. Finished Firebird by Kathy Tyers. I've read it before and enjoyed it as always. It's one of those 'what if' books. What if Israel was scattered among the stars before Jesus came? This book (and the other two in the Trilogy) is based on that premise. Also read another 'what if' book. The Brother by Dorothy Clarke Wilson tells the story of James, the brother of Jesus. Very cool book. I've always enjoyed it.

10 days left to leave for Eugene....
