gloves... a new level of need for gloves...

old photo... old blog post
read the report... it may amuse you...

in some ways I wear it as a badge of honor
to break and dislocate a finger... then to stay in the race and finish strong
had I not flatted out and then had to repair the flat ESSENTIALLY with one hand
I would have one my category


why do I bring this up?
the past few mornings I have had INTENSE PAIN in my finger from the cold
the gloves I have do not keep this finger warm
well... I own better gloves
but this finger with its screws and steel plates goes painfully numb
not to be confused with comfortably numb

OUCH! THAT SMARTS!
