Unfortunately, clouds obscured the sky last night, making a viewing of the return of the Leonids next to impossible. At least it was warm enough that the falling precipitation was rain and not snow. Winter is coming fast this year. We had our first snowfall over the weekend, but it melted quickly.

I finally succumb to this sinus infection that had been looming for weeks. I tried to ignore it. When that failed, I ignored it some more. I’m sure the rapid changes in the weather played a roll. It’s moving into my chest now. I bit the bullet and called in sick today. I’m doped full of cold medicine. wrapped in blankets and watching Law and Order reruns on TiVo. Ugh.
