The souvenir you don't want to come back with
Clodagh and I took a long weekend last weekend and went to New York City to visit Jude, see Lisa, and just act like tourists :) All-in-all it was a very good trip with stories that may become blog posts in time.
What's the souvenir you don't want to bring back with you? No, I'm not talking about a tattoo someone gets during a drunken escapade (though that would be bad too - unless you're big into tattoos). I'm talking about the cold that I've been fighting the last few days... This is a terrible time of year to be stuck in a plane for multiple hours if you've been tired lately or think your immune system is otherwise fatigued. I knew it was a bad sign when the guy in our row could be overheard talking into the cellphone about how sick he was, etc., etc. Fortunately we were able to move to a different row a few minutes later when it became clear that that plane was not going to be full - but it looks like the damage was already done :(
