Having fewer problems breathing, but my voice (when I have one) sounds like I've been chain-smoking for the last twenty years. Ugh. So, definitely still sick, but hopefully on the mend.

I'm currently working my way through Diane Duane's Interim Errantry, which is a collection of three Young Wizards novellas. I'm on the third (Lifeboats), which I'm thinking looks long enough to be a novel by itself. But the second one (How Lovely Are Thy Branches) was the one that stopped me cold and made me go bwuh? Because it mentioned Snowmageddon and Heathrow being shut down.

Oh ye gods. Was it really five years ago that our flight was (luckily) diverted to Manchester? (Luckily because Manchester instead of, say, FRANCE.) And we then had that interminable eight-hour bus ride to get to Heathrow? Where my inlaws, with the patience of saints (I swear, they should've gotten medals for it) were still waiting for us at like two a.m.? That goes under "unforgettable life experiences." Also under "thank god we did not have a small child with us at that point."

I was not expecting that blast from the past in a Young Wizards book!
