My right hand and wrist are still giving significant trouble, so I’m keeping the typing to a minimum. Not that I’ve been blogging all that heavily lately, but now I have an EXCUSE. Kinda like the way I would get a doctor’s note in high school to get out of swimming in gym class. Sitting on the bench and watching the girls walk around in their swimsuits was much more my style…
