When I woke up earlier this morning I had a fever and a headache. I didn’t go to work and slept through the day. I know it’s crazy but The Catcher in the Rye was a book I loved. The freakish part of me that feel that everything is connected somewhat believes that my being sick this whole friday may be in fact connected. RIP JD Salinger.
