New excitement:
- conflict between a new guest, Preston, and Shawn (seems to be a recurring theme)
- impersonation (of Shawn!)
- news of the collision of a US Airways plane and a flock of Canada Geese (thanks to Jaxelplax, a faithful listener who pointed out that they are not Canadian Geese, for they do not have maple leaves painted on them... as if the people of Canada, the true Canadians, do... anyway she's an English major... don't mess!)
- weather forecast: sunny and sunnier until it hits the 70's! *disco*
- Umbrella, covered by All Time Low, an Indie Punk band hailing from Luthervill Timonium, Maryland
- Details in the Fabric, a collaboration between two musical heartthrobs, Jason Mraz (known for "I'm Yours" and James Morrison, a UK artist known for "You Give Me Something"
- K Squared and Shawn as hosts
- Preston as a new guest! Great impersonator of Shawn, hates road construction, loves words...
ORIGINAL ANTIGENIC SIN: Original antigenic sin occurs when the antibodies produced by the body's immune system to fight exposure to the flu virus become part of the body's "memory" so that it can fight off future exposure the same flu strain. The problem is that those same antibodies end up suppressing the creation of new antibodies when the body is exposed to a new strain of the flu, making last year's flu vaccine ineffective against the newer strain. The phenomenon has also been observed in dengue fever and HIV, among other viruses.
