I'm not dead yet

Okay, for the record, I am planning to post my full Macworld wrap-up in the coming day or two, but for the uninitiated, I've been caught in the grip of a nasty bug picked up somewhere in California. At first, I assumed it was the dreaded annual Macworld plague, but in the past few days, as my wife has shown no symptoms, we are beginning to think she picked up the bug while sightseeing in San Fran, and then transferred it to me while staying a couple nights in Santa Cruz (she had a mild fever, and scratchy throat). I've also seen two other, utterly non-related instances of fever/flu attacks from people I follow after having visited California or Nevada the past few weeks, so I guess it's just par for the course this time of year there.

Tomorrow marks a week since it started with a high fever, chills and hacking cough, yet I still made the road-trip, as a groaning, delirious passenger for about 22 hrs. from North Carolina to Ottawa at the end of last week (N.B. the trip usually lasts a mere 18 hrs., but Robin had to do most of the driving).

Luckily, I was right-as-rain for most of the conference and the plane flight back, so I got some of my first impressions down before they got wiped out in my current medicated stupor. Lesson learned for next Macworld: get the flu shot before you go. Hell, get two.
