The Fog
Fresh haircut yesterday, clean-shaved today. I’m feeling good. Things are going in the right direction again. Exception to this is that I’ve had a bad cough for over a month which isn’t getting better. The doctor thinks it’s either bronchitis or asthma. If it’s asthma, I’d be really upset about that.

Over the weekend, five teenagers from my neighborhood were killed in a car accident when they drove into oncoming traffic and crashed into another car, severely injuring them as well.
