I will try really hard not to over share but …….. these dark, moist days of Seattle’s autumn bring out the worst in my nose and sinuses.

Seattle Plastic Surgeon comments on young whipper snappers wearing very annoying t-shirts. Yesterday was an amazing and beautiful spring day in Seattle. I had a couple of free hours in the morning and I took Stella, our snippy, snappy, snarly, nasty, naughty thing, on a walk around Green Lake. The path around the lake was packed andContinue reading…
