Ow.

So I broke my left index finger & had surgery on it last week. I took on a car, and while it is true that the car defeated me this turn, I'm confident that next time I will emerge the victor.

Anyway, I'm reduced to hunting & pecking, and as there is no place for me to rest my arm where it is above my heart at my desk, I'll be taking the week off. I know you're fraught with grief over both my condition & my abscence; just stay alive! And I will find you!

Thanks Stu, Mayra, Bob, Kyle, & Yuri--I love you guys, and thanks so much for being such great friends (and brother) and being there with me.
