May is the Sneezing-est Month

Life is really hard these day for those of us who have partners with spring allergies. Poor us! The apartment strewn with tissues, the night-time snoring, the medicine cabinet clogged with every variety and titration of decongestants. I bought some of these for Jean the other day:



in the hope that having them would enable him to accompany me (and our three Scottish friends who are staying with us) to the Sakura festival in Prospect Park last weekend, but no luck. Though he did finally indulge us with a brief sit-down in the somewhat less blooming, and nicely river-breezy Rockefeller Park.
