<p>Last night, I spoke to my son at Hotchkiss. He told me that there were about 30 to 40 kids already quarantined to their rooms with the swine flu. He said that some entire dorm floors were under quarantine. I’m sure that the flu epidemic will only get worse at Hotchkiss (and my son will be one of its victims). What a wonderful way to start a school year!</p>
