We can go to the moon, why can't we cure the common cold?!

I came down with a miserable cold yesterday afternoon. I feel like hell. Last week at my physical I had a pneumonia shot in one arm and a flu shot in the other arm. Why can't they come up with a cold shot?  

I skipped the St. Paddy's Day Dash today (it was snowing anyway and I do have my limits), and I'm not going to the gym. Right now I'm going back to bed. 

The only good thing about getting sick is that I'm not one bit hungry. Maybe I'll lose a few pounds.
