April 10, 2009: Is it relevant that immediately after setting up this blog, happily tripping the light fantastic down a brick walkway on my way to a workout, immoderately cheerful about breakfast with good friends, the whole week's Passover activities, the matzoh ball filled seders up the gazoo, the once in a lifetime ceremony for the sun (or at least once every twenty eight years), not just relevant but maybe even significant and metaphorical that the high was followed by a low. It was more of an adrenal shock than anything, the toe stub, the trip, the slowish motion fall scaring the pants off me and causing any onlookers a huge moment of grimace at the sight of my ring finger. From the middle knuckle up, the finger which has never worn a wedding ring, became transformed by fate. It became a pointer finger, defied the laws of nature and body mechanics, and leaned hard to the left by nearly 90 degrees, a form not found in nature.
