It's 4:30 in the afternoon here in gloomy old London, 8:30 in the morning where the people I love and miss are. I'm here in the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse Lounge at London Heathrow Airport waiting for my flight on to Nairobi which leaves in another 2 1/5 hours.
As you can see in the picture, I still have my trusty Kleenex box with me, but I'm feeling a little better than I did in Los Angeles. My travelling partner, Dave Tuttle, gave me a Singulair from his pharmaceutical stash when my Tylenol Severe Cold Medicine proved spectacularly ineffective. It dried me up enough that I was able to get about 5 hours of sleep on the flight. I plan to take a sleeping pill on the next flight to get another 6 or 7 hours before I land in Nairobi at 6:30am local time.
The Lounge here is truly fabulous with a wide assortment of foods and drinks to enjoy, comfortable work and leisure areas, a 15 foot wide TV screen showing English Football, of course, and a bar staffed by 3 bartenders. There is also a children's play area, but on the opposite side of the club from the bar.
I got about 3 hours of work done up to now, and I'm ready to get some more done. I'll check in again, next time from Africa.

Hi Dad! I'm glad you're feeling
better! I hope Dave's medicine helps and the cold wears off.
Love,
Brodie
