Quiet is good.  Unfortunately, on New Year's Eve, we ended up going to 
the ER.  My wife has had some mysterious medical issue that causes her to 
have severe problems with her digestive tract.  The doctors have no idea 
what it is, but we hadn't seen it in about a year.  Until about 10 
minutes after midnight, that is.

This time they're saying "bacterial infection", but we've heard that 
before.

So NYE wasn't quiet for us, and I had a cold before that, but otherwise 
it was pretty quiet.

I know, that's why I said what I said.  Freaky, isn't it? ;-)

Bummer! Seeing the New Year in, in A&E (as we call it here). I hope that she
gets better soon.

I picked up a chest infection that was very bad for about three weeks but it is
almost gone now.

They'll be passing those out next year at Andrew's company. I remember 
getting candy sticks like that when I was a kid, all different flavors. 
The best thing about them is you could get the candy down to a very fine 
point...
