A recent conversation

P: "I'm really sorry, sweetie, if I gave you my cold."
R: "I don't blame you, I blame evolution. Viruses are a fucking bad idea."
P: "Well, they're a good idea for VIRUSES, aren't they?"
R: "Get away from me with your situational ethics."

I have a really stellar camping trip with arkuat to write up, but at the moment I'm alternating blowing my nose and getting ready for the MinnStf meeting we're hosting on Saturday. At least by then I won't be contagious and can make the vegetarian portion of the dinner offering without fear of supporting viruses against the human race.

I've sometimes imagined really dangerous viruses--say, ebola or Spanish flu--having conversations like we have about global climate change.

Virus 1: I dunno; I just think our growth may be unsustainable. If we kill the planet, we'll all die.
Virus 2: La la la, I can't heeeear youuuu.

Hope both you and Raphael feel better soon.

I hope you (and R!) are feeling entirely better just so soon as possible.

I've been blaming my cold on the person one seat behind me on the train, who coughed the whole way to Montreal.

That would certainly do it! I always try to tell myself that coughing sneezing people just have allergies. Sometimes I'm sure they do. I hope you are on the mend.

I might even say I was mended; lots of vitamin C drops and an excess of sleep can accomplish much.

Well, much in addition to being yelled at by one's cat because breakfast is late.

RoFL. Peak human!

Thanks for the well wishes.
