Waiting for a Robert Lewis Stevenson

We’re sick here. Very ill. Viral.

Childhood illness is just not fair, especially at Christmas. The new sleds have only had a token number of runs.

I find it remarkable that a childhood full of illness was what sparked so much creativity in Robert Lewis Stevenson. His nurse evidently didn’t let him watch endless episodes of America’s Funniest Home Videos on Netflix like I’ve allowed my boys to view this week.

It’s funny to hear them laugh at something with croaking laughs. It’s not funny to hear them coughing violently all day.

Viruses are bad, very bad. If you’re healthy and you haven’t had your flu shot, you should do it today.
