Well, John was sick over the weekend and now I have "it".
It is a nasty and unyielding head cold. I think I have most of the symptoms listed on the Nyquil bottle.
The worst effect of the whole thing is that I have totally lost the motivation to do anything.

Or maybe they are encouraging us just to go into denial about the future all together.
Hey, if there is going to be a disaster of Biblical proportions, I really don't need to worry about that 401K after all, now do I?
Well, I am sick today and I don't have the initiative or the motivation to debate this kind of silliness.
All I can say is that if all this stuff is giving you pause, then pause and look up.
