Out on the post-breakfast rounds with Bo, while he is trying to read, Monk is suffering a runny nose. It is much worse than the usual morning clearing of the sinuses, and he has to go inside to get some toilet paper. He wonders if he is coming down with a cold or flu, but then the more likely answer befalls him: allergies. These whipping springtime breezes are carrying his allergens; the fresh coolness is not free for him.
