Uh-oh, Rudder seems to have a bit of a cold. He's not terribly sick, and it's not
really a bad time for him to be sick -- if that's not a contradiciton in terms --
but it's not to close to a race or anything else especially important.
The thing that concerns me is that if he passes it on to me, I could
still have it in time for the Ireland trip. So I guess if I'm going to get sick
I'd better do it fast or not at all! And meanwhile I can just hope that he's not
really sick at all, just a little discombobulated by the front that just came in
and his erg trial Thursday. Those really can wreck your lungs; when I set my own
Personal Record for 500m I was coughing for three days. If it's either or both of
those things, he should be feeling better soon.
I have another essay, a real one about feeling anchored in the good parts of my
life and knowing when I'm in one, rattling around my head right now but I'm not
sure how to say it yet.
