waiting (not so) patiently
PJ spends much of the day attempting to get into my brother’s bedroom. He’s not allowed in because he chews on guitar amp chords and knocks stuff off the desk and generally makes a nuisance of himself. But that doesn’t stop him from trying.
all hail the neti pot

“Out of all the things the hippies did, whether it was protesting or saving trees or toking on a joint, I think the Neti Pot was their greatest accomplishment.”
As previously mentioned, by brother and I have been suffering with a miserable head cold, and have spent much of the past day exchanging pitiful glances as we pass each other the tissue box.
We decided to pull out the big guns today, in addition to our already impressive arsenal of vitamins and cold medicine. We went down to the natural pharmacy and picked up a Neti Pot. If you’ve never seen one, a Neti Pot looks and works something like this…
Dignified? No. Effective? YES.
I wasn’t sure how well it would work, and I was a little afraid that it would provide the sensation of drowning in my own snot and sea water, but it really does the job. Stephen even started composing a spontaneous ode to the Neti Pot, which wasn’t really invented by hippies, but has been in use in India and South Asia for hundreds of years.
Just make sure you do it behind a closed door. Because nobody needs to see that.
