geez, thanks, dad

My father has out of control allergies. Shots year round. eyes swollen shut in the summer. can't eat peaches or cherries. you get the idea.

and he so graciously shared this genetic trait with me.

and this season has been particularly horrible for me, particularly with the weeds.

and now i have the asthmatic cough that is so insanely annoying. In previous years, when the coughing came, I needed an inhaler. This year, I need the inhaler but cant use it. So, i suffer, as do all of those around me. So if you are around to hear the hacking, i apologize. If not, count yourself as lucky.
