My traditional January cough has arrived

Posted by on January 7, 2012

One of the many reasons that I want to leave cold winters behind is my January cough.  It appears, without fail, every January and usually lasts most of the month.  Sometimes it is accompanied by the other symptoms of the common cold (runny nose, chest congestion) or flu (aches, fever).  But sometimes, like this year’s vintage, it is just a cough.  A dry, persistent, racking cough.  It is more annoying than a real medical concern, but I wouldn’t miss it at all if it stayed in Massachusetts while I was in California next year.  Hell, I would even send it a postcard. Or maybe bequeath it to a (not very good) friend.

Maybe next year I can start a tradition of January sunburns.
