What Does it Mean to Be a Man?

Fireside Topic: How do you handle getting sick?

I rarely get sick but have been bit with something now for about a week and a half. The first few days are alright, slowing down my pace for a while can be rejuvenating in a sense, but I am pretty much ready for this thing to be gone at this point. All ...
