I don't think it's exactly spread to Maryland here, but one of my friends came to school after vacationing in Colorado a few months ago and randomly said, "Hey, I have the swine flu."

I got pretty worried, and a few weeks ago I actually had a sinus infection, and I was really scared it was the swine flu. Hope it's not bad for your brother.

Oh, and you have a band? It's a pity I'm not thirteen...just have to wait until you get it up on YouTube to see what your band is like...
