[Magdalen] Still sick

[Jay Weigel]

I used to have colds that lasted a couple of weeks when my kids were young.
I haven't had them as much in recent years, I don't know whether, because
I'm no longer around small children or whether I'm not under as much
stress. The last time I had anything that lasted that long it wasn't a cold
at all but bronchitis that had segued into pneumonia. But colds are mostly
just colds.
