My pet virus

For anyone needing a boost of hope or a shot of humor while waiting for the xmvr business to sort itself out, I just finished reading Shawn Decker's My Pet Virus. The True Story of a Rebel without a Cure. It's funny, whacky, cheeky, edgy and inspiring, all at once. And much of what he writes about in the context of HIV -- fears, hopes, challenges and limitations, sound rather familiar.
Highly recommended. Happy reading.
