So I am finally starting to feel better. The bird flu looks like it has run its course. Just in time to as I am about to start the training road map in one week. I sat down with Daddy de Sugar to outline a game plan for next year. I believe that with the help of said Sweetner, I will acomplish many of my goals for next year. This weekend was spent just chilling. Went to a movie (The Departed), watched one at home (Ray). Both of those are good flicks.
Right now I am also trying to get together a sponsorship proposal. I have never done this before, but I believe I can make an impact on the endurance scene next that may or may not warrant company support. We'll see.
Here is a pic of my dog Nina and her new friend. The weiner dog is Becky's sister's. I have spent the last couple of days driving Becky nuts by trying to rename our dog Jonie.
Get back to work!!

Did you say that the Bird Flu has run its course?
Well sorry to tell you that you are wrong about that.
The H5N1 virus is currently growing at more than twice the rate of the last year, even according to the WHO figures.
So far, during 2006, there has been one human fatality as a result of the bird flu virus, every four days!
That is even worse, when you realise that the current H5N1 virus, is a BIRD virus and is not supposed to be killing humans!
It may not be a "Pandemic" as yet but there is an increasing possibility of it actually mutating in to a human virus. That would be a major threat to all of us every where.
There have been 153 deaths related to the Bird Flu virus to date, that we know of.
We expect more such announcements shortly.
Added to the above, is the fact that if the expected mutation of the current H5N1 virus, is to follow the 1918 pandemic, it is likely to use the victims own immune system for its attack.
From the past experience, it tricks the immune system to virtually "liquidise" the lung tissue of the host body, so that the victim dies by "internal drowning".
As a result, the stronger the host body's immune system, the more likely it is for death to occur.
During the 1918 pandemic, the majority of deaths occurred in the age range of 13 years to 30 years.
I hope that the powers that be, are taking this global threat to us seriously enough, to try and prepare for the worst case scenario.
I am sure that every one hopes that this virus does turn out to be nothing more than a "a lot of the hype".
It would be very foolish to not assume a worst case scenario though.

Nooooooo!!! Please H5N1, don't mutate! I beg of you. First, the Fantastic Four and now this. Mutation is taking over everything!!
Sorry I even brought up the bird flu. At least it has more people reading about Jo Mama. You are sure to score some sponsorship deals now! So, get writing that proposal!
