what is your conclusion...a bug or allergies?

i'll tell you that this has probably been my worst year ever for allergies. i became dysfunctional at work on four separate occasions today because i couldn't see, breathe, smell, or move.

I think allergies. I might rather be sick. At least then I would know it would run a certain course and I'd be better. With allergies, who knows?

I woke up Sunday morning with my throat sore and tight and some congestion. Then I went up to Park City to run and felt great. Came back down here and it started up again.

Clearly something blooming down here and not up there right?

oak, grass, and mold are really high right now. those probably haven't peaked in PC yet. i ran through a bunch of grass in DD yesterday, and then sat under the shade of an oak tree to recover. i ended up with swollen eyes and hives on my arms. i really enjoyed the experience.

i hope whatever is causing the grief dies down soon, and i hope you feel better.

Sounds like its time to buy a summer home at Deer Valley

I thought that same thing about 20 years ago. Still can't afford it.

I once ate dinner at the Stein Eriksen Lodge. I had a $22 hamburger.

I'd pay $22 for a real beef hamburger right now.

Rob - good luck. Might I suggest "The Villages"? It's Florida's friendliest hometown. I think you would dominate the shuffleboard racket.
