Demonic possession? I hear it's going around. Regardless, get better soon.

just think of it this way, today is the first day of the last month without baseball.

If that don't make ya feel better...

[2] Even better, pitchers and catchers this month. Next month is the vernal equinox. Though it's been a very mild winter. So far.

Dude, get well brother!!!

I hear there's this thing called medical hippie lettuce that you can use to make yourself feel better. Even if it's just a placebo effect, you'll at least forget about being sick, and you're appetite will magically reappear. Give it a try! I read about it in the New England Journal of Medicine.

[4] That sounds intriguing! Though perhaps the Ministry of Health here in Japan will not approve this treatment..and I fear the police will strongly disapprove..

[4] Break the law, it's worth it. Plus, what's the worse thing that you can do? Eat more sashimi than you usually do. No harm done to anyone, and 10K cats will not die because of your actions.

[6] Ooo, you don't want to break any laws here. J police can hold you 22-days before charging you. And the mary jane laws..some guys from Waseda University (the Yale to Tokyo U's Harvard) got caught smoking. Immeidate expulsion and arrest, all their years of hard studying to get in there vamooshed..still a strong totalitarian streak here for sure.

Take care Alex. Drink plenty of hot Honey & Lemon with crushed ginger. Does the trick every time for me. (I'm assuming you have a cold).

And gargle with warm salt water and or Listerine.

Hope you feel better soon.
