Well, Friday we went up to work on the new house, expecting to get the kitchen painted. We got the trim primed and the cracks mended, and went out to a nice dinner with friends and a very nice winebar/bookstore (a perfect combination).
And the next morning woke up quite sick, both of us. Started with slightly upset stomachs and then began to be a horrible fevery tired achy thing. We feared the onset of flu and headed home. At first I drove, but it became very difficult to stay in the lane (not good, on the interstate!) so finally we pulled over, drooped for a while, and started off again with Bill driving. We avoided major collisions and got back to our fair city.
Just in time to meet the rush of cars leaving the stadium from the major football game of the year--between us and home. Everywhere we turned (practically delirious by now) there were orange cones and cops motioning us to go the other way. Bill finally found a tiny side street which we headed down, only to find ourselves in the midst of drunken revelers doing a line dance in the middle of the street.
So now we're the grumpy old people who don't know what fun is...
On the good side, we woke up this morning feeling much better, and it was a lovely warm day, so we had nice walks. And the kitchen will wait.

And very sorry about your TG misfortune--much worse! At least ours got over with quickly. Hope you're recovering, too.

And I don't understand why anyone would drive to a stadium just to get caught for hours in all that traffic. I mean, isn't that why they invented television?

I lived across the street from the U of Michigan stadium for a couple of years in Ann Arbor. I had to time my comings and goings to avoid the pre- and post-crowds. More than once I misjudged and was caught in a mindless swarm that was going the opposite direction from me.

BTW, I like that icon. What's the .org at the bottom?
