Iron Bug Attacks MicroWorld

I've been too busy shoveling snow, salting sidewalks, and thawing out my frozen fingers to even come near my beloved soapbox, i.e. blog.  Then the Bug invaded!  That nasty intestinal virus that strikes anyone, anywhere, and at anytime without warning and without respect for your flu shot, vitamins, or clean living. It's "Iron Bug"!  Indomitable! Fearless! and Insidious.  I've been busy re-enacting "Nurse Nancy" , dispensing Pepto Bismol, Maalox, ginger ale, chicken soup and clean sheets.  Each day brings a new casualty.  Tomorrow will bring another snow storm with approximately another 12 inches to add to the already 22 inches on the ground.  People here toggle between two themes: the weather bug and the flu bug.  Both are having an iron grip on us.  But don't you worry about your old Granny Ray.  I've already planned my next escape.  The trick is to stay just one step ahead of mayhem.  The Mohegan Sun is awaiting our arrival and will be providing luxury accommodations for us on February 15th.  Note that this is one (1) day following Valentine's Day.  As I said, "one step ahead."  The price drop was sweeter than Godiva chocolates.  As a show of gratitude we will use the fiduciary difference to invest in several money markets on the casino floor.  We will diversify our funds  because we are smart AND experienced.  Look for the smoke signals reporting our progress.  But for now, I've got to get back to Iron Bug.  Seek and destroy!
