Sick. Been sick since Saturday. I've reached the stage of the cold where all the snot that's left is gluey and won't come out. My head feels like it's been filled with molasses. I'm sure you are all thrilled to know these things. In the next room over, some computer-generated … [Read more...] about sitrep

So I went to the allergist last week. Besides informing me that the allergist I saw as a teenager probably wasn't board certified, he took my reaction to eating mangoes a little more seriously than I did.
