So a result of all the sickness these last few weeks at school are that a couple students and a teacher have scarlett fever. This old-timey disease reminded me of that old Oregon Trail game where you’d put your family in a wagon and try to make it to Oregon alive. A very noble goal. I would always be rolling along fine until, “Ralph has typhoid.” As far as I was concerned the cure to typhoid and all those other diseases was buffalo. And so I would go hunting, and little Ralphie would die, and then one by one my family died from diseases that buffalo apparently didn’t cure. Those were the good ol’ days.

Ah, oregon trail. I spent many a computer class in middle school playing that game. We would name all of our family members after our classmates and then laugh when the message came up “Jeremy has dysentery.” Good times good times. Do you teach your kids about the fabulous computer games in the olden days like Oregon Trail, Where in the world is carmen san diego? and the one about running a lemonaid stand?
On a more serious note, I hope everyone gets better soon…goodness, scarlet fever, scary.
