"the worst day of the year"

as i'm in the middle of my three part series on the best day of the year, i'm going to take a very brief moment to point out that today, December 27th, is officially the worst day of the year.

the short version...

i started throwing up last night as the stomach flu officially kicked in. as a result, i sent my girlfriend and my family to Maui without me this morning as i continued to vomit. now, while they're in paradise, i'm sitting here feeling (and looking) like total crap.

hopefully tomorrow will be better and i can catch up with them.

by the way... please feel free to leave comments on these blogs. i'd be good to know if anyone is reading them. just click on the little link at the bottom that says "comments" and leave me one. thanks!
