I think you might want to get to the doc... with your recent heart issue and all. If you are dealing with the piggy flu (which seems possible, from the symptoms my kids had) they might want to give you the anti-viral drugs. My understanding is that you need to get on them quickly for them to help as much as they can.
Barring that, I'll get you a nice cup of hot tea!
Yeah, the Rodeo is, or at least was, as big deal around here! There are things going on for the whole week, leading up to the big pro rodeo. I think the kids getting the two days off is one of those tradition things that probably isn't really needed, but it will stick around because it makes Tucson "different".
And don't worry! If I get to see you at the soccer tournament, I won't forget that you are my friend!
