the list


the list
Originally uploaded by Aaroneous Monk.


Received a call at the clinic from my wife with a 4 item "honey do" list. Seems simple enough, but each item was at a different location and I was supposed to get them on my way home from work, during rush hour, in DC.

The only way to NOT lose the list was to write it in my palm. The list reads:

[] Dry Cleaning
[] Camera Batt
[] Subs
[] Diapers

Of note is the fact I capitalized each word (anal-retentive nature manifesting even in hastily scrawled palm-note) and the top of my index finger is sewn on from a shattered glass incident a few days prior.

This is my life, full of exciting challenges and high adventure. :^)

Peace to All,
Aaroneous

Hey Aaroneous, I like the blog a lot! I did something very similar to my index finger...well, I had similar stitches at least. I went to swipe a moth off of a light panel and the plastic ridges ripped off the tip of the finger. That part of the body hurts pretty bad, eh? :)

Hey back atcha, Cavutto.

Thanks for commiserating with me and my finger snafu. Your story is actually more macho than mine.

We HAD an oil and vinegar cruet with two corked openings for pouring. The corked oil opening kept leaking when pouring from the vinegar opening.

So, I decided one night at dinner that I would make sure this didn't happen again. I used my left index finger to apply pressure down on the cork to assure it was seated tightly and... WHAMO! it shatters and slices me to the bone.

X-rays revealed a 3mm shard near the bone and so they had to go in digging for it with rat-toothed tweasers.
