It’s terrible to be an older adult with pepperoni size acne, but I had a major breakout this past week which, I was extremely self-conscious and vain, would have kept me indoors in a dark corner of the house until it cleared up. As it turned out, I made do with the usual makeup efforts that were ineffective, and since my office cubicle is in a corner I didn’t have to gross out anybody.
Why can we decode the human genome but we can’t fix acne?
Well, the mind is on vacation, anyway. That’s what happens when your whole life centers around work, school, eating, reading and sleeping and nothing else. With a paper due it’s not easy to take one’s mind off the paper topic. While eating dinner I’m mulling over what references I will use on page six. I wake up remembering I forgot to add a footnote. I’ve lapsed into that state of mind that is the human in autumn. It may take a week or two to set things right. Have patience: I have no other choice.
