I get ‘em in April. The problem is that as I grow older what bothered me as a kid does not bother me now. And what bothers me now, never bothered me as a kid.
“And what bothers me know, never bothered me as a kid’’<<. Wow, there’s the inverse in life. It’s mold and pollen and all that plant material miss marmelstein. Either as it emerges in the spring or as it dies off in autumn.
