Brunch Shmunch

I've got the flu. Maybe you didn't get the memo. Anyway my brunch recommendation this week is to stay home and savour your health. Sleep in a little. Get up and have some Cheerios. Then go back to bed. Or you know what? Why don't you skip breakfast altogether? Stay in bed a little longer. Keep dreaming, let yourself stay in that otherworld, you can learn a lot from dreams (Or so I've heard. My dreams are usually disappointingly banal).

I realize that brunch is a wonderful time to sit with friends while drinking more coffee than you otherwise would, causing a level of chattiness you find uncomfortable. Oh yeah, and you get hash browns that you can dip in hollandaise sauce. But my advice this week is save the ten or fifteen dollars you might spend on a breakfast that will cause your stomach to expand to uncomfortable proportions. Stay in bed, and think about all the people in the world who are not as lucky as you, people who might be sick, or otherwise diseased.

Next week I will be back with more brunch reviewing. And I promise that I will be more optimistic. Okay?!
