Jilli, my Mother swears by blowing a hot hair dryer into your mouth and nose for a few minutes several times a day to ward off an oncoming cold.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to convince Pete to do that. If I somehow do, I promise to take pictures.
I was having such fun visualizing that I just

Ooooo...I like that idea. At this point, though, I'd be happier if she could make some dinner. I seem to be getting Emily's cold. Yay again.
Oh, and the police are outside saying, "Take a walk. Take a walk now." I'm afraid to look at see what's going on.
There is some speculation that people with cross-dominance, i.e., right handed and left eyed, are more clumsy.
As lisah said, this would explain a lot. I'm right handed w/ left eye dominance, but that may because the optic nerve in my right eye got deep-fried by a case of scarlet fever when I was a wee one. (I'm severely tunnel-blind in the right eye--it's like I'm going through life looking through a paper towel tube with gauze over the end)

So mindlessly happy right now. I've been toting around through two or three moves over many, many years a portrait from a turn-of-the-century photographer's studio in NYC of an incredibly lovely and serious young woman identified only in scrawly handwriting on the back as "Mrs. James Hoe."

She makes me oddly happy in a melancholy sort of way.
