Might be because of the two 500mg tablets of Vitamin C that I take everyday… might also be the Iburpofen PM I swallow every night… might even be daily P90X regime I have been doing for the last two months.  In any case, the game of cat and mouse with the common cold has me the victor everytime… so far…

The chilly winds still prevail here in California – wind chill factor is probably in the low 50s – and I have several outdoor engagements to go to.  And it’s not even November, yet… I hope the cold (or the flu) won’t conquer me at the most inopportune time this December… if there’s anything worse than spending Christmas alone this year, it is spending it alone with a cold.  So I say to the common cold, “Have at thee!  Thou shalt not striketh me down if it’s the last thing I do!”  Or is that tempting fate?  Well, if it happens, it happens.  But I’m gonna be enjoying a cold-free weekend, and these tiny viruses are not ruining the remainder of my year…

… so far…

… I hope…
