Found what?

Direction, responsiblity, Jesus?

Humility, Hoffa, hundreds of dollars?

A better job, better house, better burrito?

Nope!

I found…

…poison ivy… again!

It’s got three leaves, so I’ve heard, but I’ve never noticed it prior to the half-dozen times I ran into it last year as well as the three times this season. But on Friday afternoon I saw a three-leaved vine so large it had covered the side of a building downtown. Then I noticed that some of the vines were as thick as tree limbs, and many of the leaves had berries. It couldn’t be poison ivy, not downtown, not growing this vast and large, and not with berries.

I was wrong. This is the worst encounter with poison ivy that I can ever recall. My arms and legs are covered, but the worst of it is on my face causing a large, uncomfortable puffiness around my eyes, cheeks and forehead.

At least I’ve got several days to recover before work.
