Summer colds are another reminder of what's in store when summer's over. It's kind of like snow in August (see my post from 8/6/2002), and yes they are once again forcasting snow tonight.

A summer cold is more than just a warning though. It is also a reminder of days gone by. Ahhh... Oh yeah. Remember when you were a kid and you got sick in the summer? There really was nothing worse. You couldn't go outside and play with your friends, you felt crappy, and it was probably 150 degrees in your room. At least as an adult (apparently I am) you are old enough to make the choice as to whether you can still go outside and play, even if you're sick.

Oh well, thank-you whomever, I'm remembering that in a few months I'll probably get the flu. I'm also remembering that just as I dislike being sick now, I disliked it when I was a kid.

Maybe I'm supposed to look on the bright side, I don't get to sleep all day in the summer anymore either.

This is very cool, I think I'm going to make it permanent.
