My over-wintered spinach crop came through splendidly this year. No surprise, of course: I think we've had the mildest winter ever, and it's in one of my permanent cold frames. I took my first crop last week. I pulled my spinach pots out on Sunday and planted more spinach in its place. (The entire process is explained in [this post](http://thedailyeudemon.com/?p=36429).)

It's too early to celebrate yet, but 2015-2016 is the first winter in decades that I haven't gotten sick. Ever since I first had children (Alex is 22), I've gotten colds, flus, and/or bronchitis every winter. Nothing this year . . . yet. I'm hoping the cold and flu season is over, but I continue to keep the four thieves essential oil piping out of the diffuser.

I almost made it last year, too. I was singing the praises of essential oils. But then, wham, in late February I got the virus from hell. Three days of non-stop coughing and a sore throat. I would've far (far) rather had the flu. So again, I ain't getting cocky, but I am hopeful.

I wonder what a mint condition of this game would sell for on *Pawn Stars*: [Gay Monopoly](http://www.queerty.com/from-the-depths-of-the-80s-comes-gay-monopoly-a-forgotten-board-game-gem-20160305?utm%5Fcampaign=wp-to-twitter&utm%5Fmedium=twitter&utm%5Fsource=twitter). Produced by "Parker Sisters," it probably wouldn't float in today's PC-charged climate. Instead of the thimble or top hat, "players could choose from a biker cap, handcuffs, a high-heeled shoe and more." "Players also had to identify the colors of the hanky code and perform camp challenges like saying “faaaaabulous” six different ways." Alas, it also didn't float with Parker Brothers, who allegedly sued the Sisters for copyright infringement.

I really like tribute bands. It appears I'm not the only one. [This single venue is bringing in a huge assortment of tribute bands this summer](http://www.rockinontheriver.com/events.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It's a pretty stunning list of "tributees": Eagles, Pat Benatar, David Bowie, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Prince, Bob Seger . . . And this dude (not a tribute) is coming:
