I have been watching the World Figure Skating Championships. They are in Stockholm this year. A couple of years ago I made tentative plans with a friend to go to them this year.
Anyone else kind of like thunderstorms?
How Yellow My Pollen
(A personal memoir in three stanzas)
How yellow my pollen
How yellow my sky
How yellow my Honda
It makes me ask, why?
Why send me this Hell-stuff
That stuffs up my nose?
That makes me feel ill
From my scalp to my toes?
But I hear no answer
Though listen I try;
So yellow my pollen
So yellow my sky

Well you know how much I love poetry so thanks for sharing this. I am assuming we will meet in the relatively near future, and when we do, you will see I have a big nose. Not Cyrano de Bergerac big, but big enough for that play to hit home (as I lost weight a friend of mine from college said it looked like the rest of me was backing away from my nose...that was a great cut down). So pollen causes real problems with me. But winter straight up sucks so much. So I welcome the runny nose, even if a runny nose for me could lead to real dehydration issues.

This is a surprisingly good article about D'oh(!)erty. While I enjoyed the 8-20 season ever so much, I recognize the role failure has played in my career. I was the keynote speaker at a graduation about 10 years ago (SUUUUUUPER weird sentence to type) and my topic was failure. Basic premise: if you never fail in medicine you are never actually doing anything.
