Check Out The Huge Hives On My Neck

Check Out The Huge Hives On My Neck, originally uploaded by Stowe Boyd.

I was walking along 6th Ave in Soho, and all of a sudden I was lightheaded. Then the itching started.

So weird. Once every few years, usually in the late fall, I get the hives. I am always outside walking. One year it was on Halloween.

Anyway, the combination of the hives and my sniffles made me feel terrible. The nice folks at the Hotel QT checked me in right away, and I took a shower and went to bed. When I woke up an hour later they were basically gone.
