Sniffle! Sneeze! Cough!; under cooked redfish; dazy today

Sniffle! Sneeze! Cough! Double Cough! Sniffle! Throat clearing sounds! Yawn! Yawn! Sneeze! Three coughs in a row! Chortle! Primordial scream noise! ******* (Expletive deleted!)

And you can tell what kind of fun-filled weekend I've had! I still feel congested. My nose is sore, and I'm beginning to look like Rudolph. My throat is irritated. The taste buds are shot. And I can only hear high, piercing sounds.

Went last night to a New Orleans restaurant for what I thought would be a decent meal. Two notches above barfdom. Friend wanted to smoke, so was seated at one of those tall bar tables that give me nose bleed. Server was a tad daft. Sweet tea was definitely not. Blackened redfish was under cooked. Side dishes were spicy potatoes, not my favorite, and a biscuit. Told server of redfish problem, was taken off bill, offered a free dessert, requested chocolate cream pie which was decent. Crowd kept pouring in getting louder and louder. Many stood nearby watching some kind of athletic event on television: the one with a dozen or so guys in uniforms who keeping running into each other chasing a prolate spheroid.

Today was a daze. I can't remember when it started or how. I know that I really must be sick because I went to bed around 5 and woke around 7. Maybe Monday will be better.

PAX!
