Brinson: ... Well, it turns out skipping last week's update was a pretty smart move, though not for the reasons I intended. On Monday, we found out that the painting job fell through, but I made up for it by getting sick on Tuesday. It took me the better part of a week to shake that cold. Of course, this weekend marks the end of such nasty summer colds with Labor Day. That's right -- bring on the influenza! I hope all of y'all are having fun and staying well on this long weekend.
