I can’t take credit for the post title – that goes to Eldest Brother.

That Hammond solo will have to be postponed

Stupid onions. Stupid non-mindfulness. Stupid knife technique. I’ve sliced many a finger and thumb in the past and each time I say “never again” but clearly my technique has not improved. This was a bad one.

I actually have a picture of the severed tip – complete with sliver of fingernail – which I will not share here. And I have another picture from the hospital where they uncurled my fingers from the clenched fist position, complete with gore, which, again, I will not share here.

I can only say, with renewed commitment, “never again”. Technique+Mindfulness. Also, it’s not a fricken’ horse race. Slow down.
