i'm about 90% cured, i think. the hot compresses work well for the rash on my face. i dampen a washcloth, set it in a bowl then nuke the sucker for about 20 seconds. it comes out of the microwave nice and steamy. after it has been on my face for a little while it cools off i put it back in for 10 seconds or so. repeat a dozen times. my face is feeling much better. in fact, it feels so good i might actually continue to do this after i'm cured.

on my way to work i pass a church that has a sign out front. slogan after pithy slogan appear on the sign. this week it says: "wanted - people to sit in slightly used chairs."

today i stopped in the supertarget and picked up a prepared salad for my lunch. it looked great! a whole breaded chicken breast sitting atop lots of green leafy lettuce, some red cabbage, shredded carrots, tomatoes & peppers, all crammed into a plastic 'to go' bowl. but when i opened it up at my desk i discovered that the chicken was chewy, there was twice as much cabbage as lettuce (it looked like purple confetti, there was so much) and the lettuce itself was wet and limp. very disappointing. you should be allowed to fully sample something like that before buying it. you know... like you do you with grapes in the produce section.

wednesday night i will be in row k at the hall & oates concert. (oops, the hall & oates, average white band and michael mcdonald concert.) we've got a vip parking pass, too. i tell ya, it pays to know someone who knows someone who knows someone. i'm going to have to really cram tomorrow and listen to all the hall & oates i can find. all i can think of right now is "maneater." (and not a single song by the other two bands leap to mind.) this should be interesting.
