blogging off for a while

I've sprained the middle finger of my left hand. I'm left handed. I knew how much I relied on the hand - I just never realized how much I did with that particular finger. Until now, when it throbs and winces at each impact and flexion. How many times in a day it hit the keyboard, curled around objects, moved, twisted, executed.

So until I've rested, iced, compressed, elevated, and splinted it back to full health, I won't be posting blog entries.

A thought to leave you with, though:

If you hear a story, you are indebted to others, and should tell your own story.
