SO romantic. The first time I went skiing with my fiance I fell, got a fat lip and a black eye (and probably a concussion, judging by the uncontrollable shivers and dizziness...) It was my fault. I was trying to impress him. I saw a small bump coming up on the hill and thought (with dread) "oh god moguls!" so I aimed right for it, in an attempt to slow me down. It was not a mogul. It was a rock. there was no snow under it. That is where I landed, on my head. Anyhoo, he had ASKED if I was okay with doing diamond trails and I was all "are you kidding me? of COURSE!" but I insisted on leading because (at the time) my ass looked GREAT in ski pants and I knew it! Um, point is, however convoluted, I long to know biologists. I long to search for salamanders, and finding a guy who still has that wonder and awe for a life so small? Poison oak be DAMNED. I love this story!! Are you kidding? SO romantic.

Sorry you have had so much pain and stress from the botanical irritant. Every time I have gotten it, I bi-pass the standard/recommended Calamine lotion and instead use Ruligel. It's a clear gel in a tube that relieves the itching and heals the affected area in a week or so. Figure on using at least a tube a day. Wishing you quick healing up, restored faith in nature and MANkind. I'm so glad that you & M got to be in NYC. I hope she's all over her flu. love, HM Hi Rachel,
