Anyone else got "The Cold"?

Mostly I just need my voice back to be able to function at the hotel.

A couple days on the antibiotic will bring the sinus infection under
control, and you voice back. Tell Mary that her joy of not hearing you will
be short lived. :-)

Antihistamine (the sleepy kind) will also help, as will a shot of whiskey

I've found the best cough syrup, hand's down, is a liqueur called "Green
Chartreuse".

It's 110 proof, is made by Benedictine monks in France (hey -- what else is
there to do?), and makes me sleep like a baby! Being green, it even looks
like Nyquil!

Trouble is, my friends have taken a liking to it as well, and it's forty
bucks a bottle...

So go buy a king-size bottle of Nyquil, pour it down the drain, and refill with
your French brew. Then hide the Nyquil bottle.

Heeeey... You're a sneaky old cuss, George. Great idea!

and with this solution you can also hide that you are using something
*gasp* ... French.

Oh. God. What have we done.

I *have* found it deeply disturbing that I actually like something made by
the French.

I've been able to justify it thusly: St. Benedict was Italian. Therefore
the Benedictine monks who brew the wicked potion called Green Chartreuse
are, in fact, Italian, regardless of where they currently reside.

:-)

(BTW: My Dad discovered the stuff when he was stationed in France in World
War II. From the time I turned 21 until he died in 1993, he would bring
out a thimble-full of the stuff on special occasions. For some reason, even
though it tastes a lot like Jet-A, I learned to like the stuff.... Although
you can only take it in small doses. )

Oh, hell, Martin. My mother's maiden name was "Errard" -- very French
Canadian. We can't run from our heritage...

Of course, the Errards were the smart ones, who actually left France...

Nah, that was Australia.

Although my very German great-great-great-grand-father left absolutely no
tracks leading back to the "old country"...

After extensive (and fruitless) research, I've come to the conclusion that
he was on the run.
