Say what?

I have a cold.

Today, one of the kids I supervise asked me if I always get sick "when the weather changes like this."

Current temperature in Washington: 85 degrees.

What is this "change" he's talking about? And when do I get to feel it?

The only thing more miserable than a cold is a cold when it's near 90. It should be chilly so I can wrap myself in blankets and baggy wool sweaters and drink tea and hot whiskey, sometimes at the same time.
