Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for November 29, 2024

Drink it in …

How’s your sense of smell?

Pretty good. Easy on the perfume/deodorant/aftershave/scented anything, please.

His nose knows…….

….and a curse

“They” say that milk smells bad before it actually tastes bad. That doesn’t make me anxious to drink it.

What. you could break it down to the seconds?

I get headaches and nausea from being around smoke … especially cigarettes and incense. I was born in 1950, so, between the heavy use of incense in Catholic churches back, then, and the fact that my parents and grandparents and everyone else smoked cigarettes back then, it was a real problem for me growing up.

My olfactories are exhausted…not tired, killed by vehicle fumes from years of open-air commuting.

That would be a gift. At my house, the first whiff sends it down the drain.
