DAMMIT. Head cold has struck me down in the midst of Christmas vacation. Thankfully it only seems to be a bad case of the sniffles which has resulted in a very Rudolph-like appearence. I'm typing this now in a Benedryl haze...the colors! The letters! Think it's going to be a mellow next couple of days as I drink tea and do some hard core vegging.

Best Quote of 2003, Thus Far (Overheard at the Seattle airport, as a mother was trying to calm her 2-year old before going through security): "Honey, you've got to try and keep the grumpies INSIDE."

Let's all keep that in mind for 2004, please?
