Around noon yesterday I started getting a headache. By the afternoon sneezed a little and started feeling achey. I snorted some Zicam and took some Nyquil before in the hopes of putting a quick end to the cold. I still had a crappy night of sleep. Today has been better though and this evening I feel reasonably good. Not great but it seems like I might get over this quickly.

Speaking of feeling ill, many of the jerseys at the World Championships will turn your stomach. Some countries maintained good taste with clean, classic designs. Kudos to Australia, Denmark, Norway and Switzerland. Belgium was good, minus the pubic shorts.

Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy and Kazakhstan are nice enough designs.

Great Britain is not so good. Netherlands looks like a giant orange. Ireland has the most depressing jersey. South Africa's jersey with a lion, elephant and water buffalo wins the wacky award.

The USA's modernistic hodge-podge of Red, Blue and Black is most unfortunate. A Primal Wear jersey ALMOST looks okay next to the USA kit.
