Still running all off-schedule here. I'm definitely fighting a change-of-season cold... I think it might be worthwhile to check out that new over-the-counter product they say shortens the duration of colds to one-third of their usual length, but I'm not giving up hope that I can skirt this entirely. Meanwhile, today I must go to court to plead my case over that speeding ticket I picked up a few months ago. This was not a terribly egregious offense, and my explanation of just maintaining the speed of the car in front of me is fairly easily supported by the fact that the driver of that car got a ticket too, so I'm hopeful that I'll get this reduced to a non-moving violation. Of course I'm not counting on that, especially since according to the old saw, I have a fool for a lawyer.
