So a head cold snuck up on me and bit me in the throat a couple of days ago. One second I was lounging comfortably on my couch, watching Tivo’d episodes of Mystery! (mostly dorky old Sherlock Holmes stuff, but I’m all a-flutter over the return of Foyle’s War for a third season — Yay [...]

My in-laws are hurricane magnets, so of course they are here for the weekend.
