Dear P.E. friends, I’ve been ill this past week with a terrible cough, sinus infection, low- grade fever, sore throat, and overall misery that comes with all of that.

I’m on all sorts of drugs to control whatever this is, and am slowly, very slowly, feeling better.  

Alan was sick with this three weeks ago, and his illness was bit different from what I’m dealing with 

Neither of us is up for celebrating Christmas, so we will be home and quiet over the next few days instead of traveling to New York to be with my son and his family. 

I wish you all safe travels and good health over the holiday and a Happy Christmas to all.
