It turned out to be a nasty case of Strep Throat. Thankfully, antibiotics still work and after after my first doctors visit in nine years, I was quickly on the mend.

It’s a pretty amazing first start. Of course, I’ve spend hours at their main site, The Prints and Photographs Reading Room, which is a truly amazing collection. It’s nice to see that these truly priceless gems are still getting views after all of these years.
