day 11, late morning

[serinde]

I'm feeling rather better today; still coughing (particularly when I talk a lot) but a bit less congested, a bit less fuzzy, and I have a bit more energy. So all systems are Go to launch for Pennsic this afternoon - I will have a 2.5 hour drive, stay in a very comfortable place I've patronized before (avec whirlpool tub), go to bed early, get up early, and plan to have my tent up by noon tomorrow, Lord willin' and the creek don't rise.

I have changed my out-of-office message to state that I am taking a rest cure in the clean mountain air. No, Coopers Lake isn't actually in the mountains; it's in the western fringes of the Appalachian foothills, don't @ me.
