Feeling Flu-ish

Being stuck home with the flu is bad....being stuck home with the flu and feeling maudlin is badder still.....being stuck home with the flu while feeling maudlin just before the holidays is the baddest. I think a trip to the casino in Charlestown is in order sometime soon. Altho, after reading this little news blurb http://articles.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20051206110309990012 I'm unsure if even the sounds of my beloved "ching-ching" could cheer me up. Who'da thought that slots could make even deer suicidal? I'm not even going to comment on the casino's idea of corpse disposal....I only know I don't want to drop dead there.
