On the (off)topic of asthma, I can't say enough good words about a new drug called Singulair, that has changed my life. For the third of asthmatics for whom it is effective, it's truly a magic bullet. I can now take my Leicas out at any time of year, without worrying that an asthma attack will ruin my photo sessions...
