Last night at the Meyerhoff in Baltimore , as the lights went down and people
took their seats, the cacophony of conversation was replaced by a wave of coughing and sneezing.
I glanced over at Mama Wordbones and she just rolled her
eyes. She’s a health professional and knows all to well that people with the
flu should stay home and keep their health misfortune to themselves. There are
times when sharing is not a good thing, particularly in times of a flu epidemic.
Last nights speaker was P.W. Singer and his topic was 21st
Century Warfare, which focused on electronic warfare, not biological. It's a shame. It could have been one of those great ironic moments.
