Cheap thoughts: sickness registry

One of my coworkers is out today, ill with what he thinks is a stomach virus. It made me think that an online registry may be useful in cases like this where one is too sick to work but not sick enough to deal with the hassle of seeing a doctor. An online registry may be able to show how a virus like this one spreads.

Golf with your friends

Friday afternoon, my department at $WORK played hooky and hit the links at Hedingham for 18 holes of golf. The course was extremely soggy from Thursday night’s rain but we couldn’t use it as an excuse. What we lacked in talent we made up in wisecracks. It was a lot of fun.

It had been probably a dozen years or more since I picked up golf clubs. I forgot how much fun it (and challenging) it can be.
