more about the hand

i know you're all wondering, so i'll just save you the trouble of asking. my hand is doing well. i played in an ultimate tournament 7 days later and took the stitches out afterwards, 8 days after the injury. there was never any infection and it's all closed up nicely. the added benefit is that now my life line is extra long and, might i add, quite robust in the latter stages. or is that my love line? well, either way it's win/win.

3M nexcare band-aids are the bomb. i also used a brush-on antiseptic superglue substance that i liked a lot. comes off with fingernail polish remover? wish i'd found both of those sooner, as i think the hand would have healed faster, and that first tournament would have been more comfortable.

the US is ok, and it's especially good to be back in MN for the fall. my favorite season here. paige got in yesterday to do some work here at world headquarters and we head to washington island (lake michigan. door county, WI) this wknd for a wedding.
