The Good, The Lag, and The Ugly

Last night's test was successful. It would seem that the issue with lag has been either solved or reduced. I hosted 20 players at the peak with no complaints. I could have never done that before. Of course, that may mean that my high upload speeds are going away. I had a dream last night that my dad and I were running around some Chicago/Milwaukee composite trying to find a store that sold Balsamic vinegar. I don't usually dream at all so it was an unexpected experience. I am sick now. It started with sniffles on Monday. Yesterday it progressed to nasal congestions which by the end of the day had left my nose and become chest congestion. I also have some pain in my left ear. There is nothing like a pending ear infection to ensure that I am going to end up in the doctor's office. For the first time in years, though, I am sick without a sore throat and it is progressing quickly. At the rate this cold is moving around I might be completely healed by noon. When I first woke up this morning I hadn't coughed in 8 hours so as I brushed my teeth I ended up coughing up a lung cookie that looked like a slug that had been doused with sodium chloride. I thought I might keep him as a pet. I decided, though, that if he truly loved me he would come back after I let him go. I wadded him up in a kleenex and flushed him.
