It’s the cough that won’t go away. First it was a sore throat, then an annoying cough, then an annoying, mucosy cough. I hate it and feel like such a disturbance.

During the screening of Vision at the Film Forum on Friday, especially the quiet parts: cough, cough.

During the live Selected Shorts program at KingsboroughPerforming Arts Center with Isaiah Sheffer, Tony Roberts and Marcia Tucci: cough, cough.

In my friend’s car, at Quercy, that French bistro on Court Street. Still coughing.

When is this annoying cough going to go away? Cough, cough.
