I’m a skeptic…always have been. They always make things sound worse than they really are when it’s probably really nothing to worry about. Take this whole H1N1 thing. It’s probably a hoax to get me to buy some useless cold medicine or hand sanitizer and it can’t be as bad as they keep saying in the news.
I’m usually just plain lazy when I don’t update the blog but this time I have a legitimate excuse…I got H1N1 last week. It’s now 9 days later and I’m finally starting to feel a little bit better. Not 100% mind you…just a BIT better. The diagnosis says another few days of misery and then another few weeks of cough. Perfect!
Now having H1N1 hasn’t given me the benefits of the usual prolonged illness (such as days off with no work) since I’ve worked every single day. To make matters worse, I also missed an opportunity to go to Hong Kong for three weeks on assignment. When it rains, it pours.
I’ll update with much better content once I’m back to my old self (probably this weekend). In the meantime, this little piggy goes hack, hack, hack!

Things I love...
I love a lot of things…like a glass of perfectly dry Cabernet, Thai food, lounging around in the hammock on a nice day, riding my bikes and living near a college town. What? How did living near a college town make the list? Let me explain.
My physical address puts me in Cornelius but I live four miles from the Davidson College campus. While four miles may not seem far, it’s a world away from Cornelius in a great many ways. Davidson is one of those liberal college towns where nothing exciting ever happens…until now.
It’s a beautiful fall day and I’m stopped at the light in the center of town. I make the left turn onto Main St. passing by the quaint shops and people just walking to be outside. Fortunately, I get caught by the next stop light in front of the Ben and Jerry’s. Normally, I hate missing this light but I’d miss it every time if “they” were there.
I saw a small group of college students walking towards the light and thought nothing of it until I saw the two tall, very attractive girls. As they got closer, I noticed they had their arms around each other (in a more than friend’s kind of way). When they reached the Ben and Jerry’s, they stopped and proceeded to make out (to the horror of the old people sitting in the rocking chairs). I don’t mean a peck on the cheek but full-on action!
After two rotations of the light, the cars behind me starting honking the horn but I wasn’t moving…no way these people were going to ruin this for me. I was definitely feeling the moment (and I think the guy in the truck behind me was feeling something else a little more personal...Dude, not cool!) so had to stay for the whole, wonderful show. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen two girls make out but usually, hot girl-on-girl action is followed by the need to enter a credit card number and a check of the anti-virus software. Having witnessed this greatness, my day was complete.
A lot of people say things like “I love life” and “I’m in love with love”. That’s all fine and good but find that my list of things I love is a bit less cultured…especially since I added “hot girls making out in front of the Ben and Jerry’s In Davidson NC” to the list.
