Flu Shots?

Should I? I only had one flu-shot the last 25 years. That year I had the worst flu I have ever had. There’s no way in #$%^ I’m going to get one now. I have been doing fine (knock on wood) so far.

Just spent two hours deciphering code to redesign this blog. My head is spinning like a top. Felt like I just read Sanskrit two hours straight without a clue. Somebody give me a nerd dictionary.
