[Update a while later]
Per some of the comments, I can’t actually remember when the last time was that I was sick. I suspect I have a pretty strong immune system (may be a combination of my mostly-keto diet and a lot of fasting). I have to fly to DC in a couple weeks for a deposition, but I’m not really sweating it.

It is just a few miles east of our house.
