As February winds down and March makes her entry, I'm stuck (as usual) dealing with the by-products of a bad flu-season. Inevitably, something viral finds me after Christmas and lays me low for a while. It's likely a combination of things (holiday airline travel, a school-aged child at home, work with the public, age{!}, etc.) but every year it seems to get worse. I start the year in pretty good physical shape after a long season afield toting a scattergun and/or a rifle and then I get slammed. Muscle tone-lost and weight-gained are the least of it. The crappy weather and the lack of stimulating activities take their toll on your mental health as well. Has anyone here discovered a better way to do this?
