Finally caught a cold

... inconveniently while visiting in Portland. It is very much like COVID except with less sore throat (and 2 negative COVID tests), Just sick enough to feel sorry for myself, but if the cough stays where it is in the upper respiratory it will end up in the rear view mirror as a mild one. But I am prone to bronchitis and post-viral asthma with fall colds, so not out of the woods yet. COVID isn't the only disease with post-viral sequelae. 

Should have known this would happen as soon as I posted about not having a cold for 3+ years.
