Aatchooo!!

Living in Georgia is wonderful. Fairly mild seasons, great culture, great climbing, and good food. Unfortunately for some of us transplants there are two times of the year that are not so wonderful. Spring and Fall, the times of the year when mother nature declares all out war on our sinuses. Everything is coated in a fine yellow dust. Pollen spores float around in the air patiently awaiting a hapless victim whose nasal passages have yet to be assaulted. There are days when one may be seen passing out because the only defense against mother natures attacks is to pinch your nostrils closed and hold your breath.

These attacks are not quick hit and run missions, oh no this is biological warfare at its best. Once mother natures soldiers have found their way into your system they bunker down and lay siege to your sinuses and respiratory system.

Some days are better than others, but there are those days, like today, that you have every intention to get stuff done only to find your self laid out on the couch doing nothing but whimpering. Today was one of those days, i had planned on doing some sketching while the kids were down for a nap and while the wife and boy were out shopping. Yeah, didn't happen although i did manage to spend some time on the 'net just checking out different artists, and looking for good sources of inspiration.
So the day wasn't a complete waste.
