Sneezing

Spent most of the week sick. Still went to work, but was definitely not accomplishing as much. It was made even harder by the fact that I had meetings every day and every night, and had to conduct my first memorial service... and write a sermon.

All in all, I think it was ok - but this morning, I felt really out of it when I went up to preach, and for the first time in a long time missed some points, and lost my place on the text. I thought I was going to pass out after.

Came home, ate some soup and really did pass out on my bed.

Got up, and played with the kids for a bit. Then watched the grammys. Ok - after seeing U2 tonight, I actually like the new single "Get on your boots", which I really didn't like before. It's the first single by them that didn't grab me by the neck the first time I heard it.

But, they were cool live. I also really liked the strange Chris Martin / Jay Z pairing. Radiohead also didn't disappoint.

The biggest surprise was the album of the year. Both Coldplay and Lil Wayne were nominated. I thought for sure Lil Wayne would win, due to all the media hype build-up for him prior to the awards. But, in the end - Alison Kraus and Robert Plant!!!! What?

Has anyone actually heard of this album? Beside the grammy judges? Sheesh.

At this rate - Benjamin Gump might actually beat Slumdog for best picture.

I hope I start feeling better soon - being sick really slows me down.
