37,000

That is the number of Americans who died last year of the plain-old, seasonal flu. If another person tells me that I should beware an ugly death because I regularly share germs with Mexicans, I am going to get annoyed.

Words of wisdom from my brother at age 14: "They're all IDIOTS!!" Still quote-worthy after more than 30 years.

Sorry about the nip. I know you really wanted to keep it.

GOING to get annoyed? LOL! You are far more patient than I am, Kate.

We have a guy at work who is super-excited about the whole thing, exclaming how this could be "the next Spanish flu". He's also right in there with the fear-mongers who are convinced this was brought in the the "illegals". I could swear by his excitement that he is actually hoping this flu wipes out a good chunk of the population. He probably thinks it'll target the "riff raff". Crazy.

Amen, sister! I wish I would have gone to the rally yesterday. I would have french kissed a Hispanic Man in front of those crazy, maskwearing Minutemen.

I like the new blog look.
