Well folks, it finally got me. I have COVID. Those of you who follow me on social media,

already know. Many of you sending well wishes, a few of you sending horrible messages and

with like a 100, 100.5 fever. And basically from the middle of the night, early Friday,

until later in the afternoon, Saturday, it is as sick as I remember being in my life.

And it's not that my fever was that high. It didn't ever get above 101, but just the

most painful. I don't know how to describe it. Just painful fever malaise. One of the
