New What is it with geeks and allergies?
I didn't grow up with allergies, but now I'm a mess throughout the fall and spring. Onset seemd to be about the time I started working with computers full time. Is it something in the silicon or what?

New Had em all my life
They are better now than they were when I was a kid. I used to wheeze all the time and was kept indoors in the winter time during recess in 1st and 2nd grade because the cold exacerbated the problem. So maybe I compensated for lack of physical development by reading a lot.

I went to college in New Mexico - that was amazing - first time I was allergy free (mostly) in my life. Living in Denver was also good. The bay area was less good.
I am out of the country for the duration of the Bush administration.
Please leave a message and I'll get back to you when democracy returns.
