Not a good way to start things off, Ken !
I haven't had a cold since Christmas 1996 ! No kidding...
Micky always gets them, but I appear to be pretty much immune.
Three years in a row '94,'95'96, I had the worst colds of my life which
included throat infections where I could not speak.
There was a bad flu going around here last month. Micky got a
very bad cold, with laryngitis. All I got out of this flu that had people
sick for up to two weeks was I nearly lost my voice for three days, but
no cold or sore throat. I am very fortunate. Must be the alien DNA
kicking in...as i appear to be getting younger each day as well...
However, soon it will be time to return "home", but I can't take anyone

with me...
