Get Well, Nels Cline

For all the sonic get well cards Nels has delivered to me, I certainly hope he gets over his <a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/44828-wilco-cancel-shows-due-to-nels-clines-chicken-pox">chicken pox</a> soon.

Thats pretty dangerous later in life, isn't it?

Apparently it's dangerous mainly in adults with already-compromised immune systems. So provided he isn't being treated for cancer or HIV, he should recover within a week or so. But that week or so will not be pleasant. See <a href="http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/aha/aha_chickpox_crs.htm">here</a>.

I got it at 4 or 5.

Not looking forward to when / if it comes the way of Maddie Nigs.

My neighbor Dorie got it at age 5, and all the neighborhood kids were forced to go over and play with her all day, to get it over with. 6 months later she got the mumps and the neighborhood moms did the same thing again. Pretty convenient, actually. Find yourself a Dorie.
