Sorry to hear that my friend Jeff is sick.  I'm also under the weather today.  As usual for me, it is the sore throat that is the most bothersome.  One time back in college I had a really bad sore throat and my long-time family doctor asked, "Who removed your tonsils?"  I responded that I had not had them taken out. He remarked, "Oh...I was going to say they had not done a good job."  Although I wasn't exactly sure how to take that, it was clear that my tonsils are not in the best condition.

Hope you get feeling better, Jeff.
