Due to Jackie Patru's battle with the flu tonight, she had to cancel our radio program. We might pick it up next week some time. If so, I'll post the info here.
This means both radio hosts, whose programs I archive at the Sweet Liberty site, are out with the flu. I believe Chris Gerner has been struggling with it for almost a month now.
Closer to my home, my wife is just starting to recover from it after nearly a two week bout.
Jackie is in Pennsylvania, Chris is in Oklahoma, and my wife and I are in Michigan. I can only assume from this that this is a widespread outbreak.
It seems like every year, at the start of the winter season, the media says how bad they expect the flu to be. This year was no exception, so I didn't give it that much thought. The thing I noticed is that they said they expected it to be the "worst flu season in thirty years".
My question is: How did they know that? It's easy to know that type of thing in hindsight, but how could they have known it in foresight?
At any rate, I'm popping vitamins, and I'd suggest everyone else do the same. And get enough sleep at night. Your immune system is at its strongest when you well-rested.
