The Germs Are Taking Over

A couple weeks ago Mike came down with a head cold and was sneezing all over the place. He kindly slept on the couch for the worst of it in an attempt to keep Annabel and me from getting sick, but unfortunately he has very ambitious germs, because I got it, and how. Last week [...]
