I'll tell you a half-dozen things that happened to me in Indiana when I went that far west to teach. You tell me if it was worth it. I lived in the country with my dog— part of the bargain of coming. And there was a pond with fish from, I think, China. I felt them sometimes against my feet. Also, they crept out of the pond, along its edges, to eat the grass. I'm not lying.

Lydia: So very sorry to hear about your cold.I've tried Zicam before and it seemed to help. That and tea. Hope you and Mike feel much better. Right. Now.
