Yesterday we visited the Brooklyn Botanical Garden in the hope of persuading ourselves that it is actually spring, depite the chilly grayness around here. And it must be! Look at these great weeping cherry trees, tulips.





The best spectacle though, is my spouse and his allergies. Here he is, blissfully unaware that he's in the midst of a Toxic Airborne Event.



Approaching the moment of reckoning...



At his request, I'll not publish documentation of his current suffering. He's doing a crash course in the science of antihistamines/decongestants/morphine. Dad, any advice to share? I've heard tell of the interesting practice of administering a daily dose of locally produced honey throughout the year in order to build an immunity to local pollen allergens. I wonder if there are any rooftop, or perhaps fire-escape apiaries in New York?
