I'm home sick with a sore throat.

Hmmm...you've been hanging around with that Edroso guy, haven't you?

Feel better, in all seriousness.

Get well. I recommend a toddy - heavy on the single malt!

Take it as a thought-free day. Try to accomplish nothing.

Sleep, sleep some more, watch 15 minutes of Jerry Springer, go back to bed, drink some flat Coke, then get some rest.

Lindsey,

Take care of yourself and get back to shuttersnapping and bogging... You are vital to the struggle!

I think the Robert Johnson song actually refers to a car model that was named Terraplane. Just sayin'...

Terraplane or Terrapin (Station)?

Good job with the article, Lindsay. Get well.

I think everyone has a sore throat that I know or whose blogs I read.

Fortunately the TSA also has a useful device for weeding out terrorists from the skies: The Swarthometer.

Get better soon.

Didn't I just see you out and about over at Steve Gilliard's?

Hot and sour soup. Definitely hot and sour soup.

At bedtime - try a hot mug of Theraflu with a shot of vodka in. Works like a charm.

Nice article Lindsay! Hope you're feeling better soon.

Yup...or Tom Yum or Tom Kha Gai also work. But basically, hot soup with lots of chile in it is the best possible thing for a cold.

Also, let us not forget the restorative properties of blueberry tea. I refer of course to the alcoholic variety(gran marnier, amaretto and tea of one's own choosing). Ahhh, the sweet sweet dulling of painful reality.
