Allergies really bothering me. I’ve had a sore throat and headache for two weeks now. Going to doctor today.

Long pow wow with Daniel regarding cover. I’ve been forwarding him all of your comments. Consensus seems to be between the middle cover design and the one on the right. He’s working hard on it today.

Tweaked Wyatt photos piece and the pimp face-off. Abby did a very good job of laying that out. We must have 80 to 100 hours in these features. It really takes time to do these—right.

After work Kathy and I ate at El Encanto. Deena started work there Monday. Had the Sonoran enchiladas ($20 cash, plus $2 tip to strolling mariachi).

Came home and watched war news. My favorite reporter is Walter Rogers. He always has on a crusty t-shirt and he won’t go where the anchors want him to. They give him leading questions and he shuts them off. Every time he does this my estimation of him goes up.
