- The hand is doing fine now. I appreciate whoever it was that sent me a
- card with a San Jose postmark. A secret admirer, eh? I'm really
- flattered. And just the slightest bit scared by it.
-
- Just a little stiff, but I have been giving it some therapy and wrapping
- it in a hot pad each night. It isn't funny colors on the back any more
- and hasn't been for about a week, I suppose. It is still a bit on the
- swollen side.
-
- The peeve is that it's still kinda tough to "grab" things with the hand
- yet. I had some barbecued ribs over the weekend and had to settle for
- eating them with a fork. I just KNEW that if I picked the ribs up with
- my hands that I'd have a spasm and drop the little buggers all over
- myself.
-
- Russ Kepler was around this neck of the woods Saturday (and last week),
- so we Atlantans showed him a good, testosterone-filled time at the
- shooting range and then out to devour some dead cow and dead pig at one
- of the city's most renowned steak places (Pilgreens). I got more food
- than I could have possibly eaten and had to take some of the ribs home.
-
- I dropped Russ back off at the palacial Hilton, so he could rest up and
- get over a lingering crud-bug and get up at oh-dark-thirty to catch
- the airport shuttle. A good time had been had by all, but then again I
- didn't think Russ was the vegetarian type and so would certainly enjoy
- Atlanta's best steak.
-
- On top of all of that, I had heard how it is customary in Albuquerque to
- take visitors to the top of Sandia Peak and get them roaring drunk on
- half a can of beer. My plan was to get Russ up on Stone Mountain and get
- him roaring drunk on a half can of beer. But those plans never came to
- be. Maybe next time one of you degenerates comes to Atlanta...

- No, you do not know me.
