That is what I have. That is what I HAD the moment I got to North Carolina. (Actually, it didn't get bad until I get back to S.A., but still.) Especially that 'malaise' listed in the definition above is what sums up how I felt. That's interesting. If you want to leave someone impressed, you can say, "Man, I really hate getting acute rhinitis.".

Anyway, it was a good 5 days over there. We met Jonathan's awesome family, which are also our spiritual brothers and sisters. We attended his brother's wedding. And we slept in 3 different houses in 3 different cities.

Among the mishaps of the weekend was (1)our flight on Thursday, which made us wait about 6 hours in the airport in Memphis, Tennessee. We were "all shook up". (2)When we got to N.C., I got the sniffles. And (3)the wedding started late, but that's pretty much expected.

But the good news is that we were there and spent time with Jonathan and friends. It's always a pleasure to meet new brothers and sisters, especially in Clinton.

Anyway, here's a couple of shots of us and of the happy couple.
