“In the end most things in life–perhaps all things–turn out to be appropriate.”

Anthony Powell, Casanova’s Chinese Restaurant

Amazing how fast a virus can lay you low, isn’t it? I haven’t read Catch-22 for years, but I seem to recall that at least one of the characters suffered from a disease called Pianosan Crud, which sounds about right for my own condition. I have deadlines and chores galore, but right now all I seem to be able to do is sit on the couch and watch undemanding movies. (I’ve also lost my voice, which now sounds like the snapping of a long, thick, wet rubber band.)

Anyway, apologies to all. It’s back to the couch for me. See you at some point.
