Spring Bee Hive Moon
Tom’s thumb will be done tomorrow, a nifty operation, done often, same day. Then, no using that opposable thumb (and what are we, after all, without our opposable thumbs) for three full months. This post is for Tom.
Talk about a great attitude. Tom’s going to take this opportunity to use his non-dominant hand and thereby increase the flexibility of his brain. Making lemonade out of hand surgery. Or something.
Doesn’t sound like much, three months, in the abstract, but when you begin to add up the things we do so easily with our dominant hand, especially after 60+ years of practice and habit, well, then three months sounds like a very long time. Buttoning shirts. Using table utensils. Opening doors. Driving. Typing. On this one Tom’s going to try to learn Dragonspeak. I hope he does, maybe it’ll spur me to finally learn it.
We’ll be thinking about you tomorrow morning, Tom. 8 am.
