For the past few years I've managed to get sick right around my birthday, and this year is no different. My allergies tend to start up pretty hardcore in late April, and, perhaps out of laziness, my body decides not to fight off any incoming germs.
Luckily, I'm finally starting to feel better after a week of coughing and snot and malaise. Everyone who has asked about episode seven of the podcast—it's coming shortly. My sickness made it difficult to record audio, and I haven't had time to finish up editing. In the next few days I'll get it online.
