What Did You Do While You Had The Flu?

I'm glad you asked. I was grounded for 6 days by the swine flu. 

During that time span, I…

• Watched several seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond. Funniest show ever.
• Spent much time on Facebook. I discovered that even when you're sick and have nothing to do, Facebook is still a time waster.
• Listened to a lot of sermons. I had a backlog of messages I wanted to listen to from several different speakers.  Mission accomplished. I've said it before and I'll say it again.  With the technology available at our fingertips, it is borderline sinful if we don't listen to a variety of different preachers. It's way too easy to do…and way too beneficial to ignore.
• Read lots of blogs.
• Watched a couple of movies.  I'm not a big movie guy.  Normally I wouldn't watch two movies in six months, let alone six days.
• Surfed random topics on Wikipedia.  Very random.
• Watched every game of the World Series. Still pulling for the Phillies!  Hope they beat the Evil Empire.
• Dropped in on a church via their webcast on Sunday morning. Cool to see the whole service happen live.  But I'm not sure if the live chat that accompanied the message was a help or a hindrance.

Not a bad way to spend some time.  It would have seemed like a vacation…if I didn't feel like I was on my deathbed. :o)
