We’ve been so sick

The bear’s face says it all. Influenza. The FLU. The world descends upon southeast Alaska daily through multiple cruise ships; looking back it’s not surprising. Xanna kicked it off in Sitka (someone’s gotta start), Frank and Meryl picked it up next on our way to Ketchikan (ER confirmed), and Holmes and I caught it at the tail end of our trip. Then, Meryl, Holmes, and I added strep throat to the list afterwards. Vitality will prevail at some point. Hat tip to Frank for holding down the home front. For the rest of the month, it’ll be a collage of moments between vacation pictures and summer fun beyond. The July Jumble!
