Sharp is the Blade that Cuts without Pain





"Surgeons must be very careful
When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the Culprit—Life!"


While cleaning up a bit, I started polishing DJ's new chef's knife. As it turns out, it is very, very sharp, so my thumb has a new crescent shape rather than the nice round tip it once had. Thanks to DJ, Mary and Shelly, it is well-cleaned and bandaged and it now wears a helmet. I feel a little ridiculous, but as it turns out knives can actually hurt you! DJ suggested that maybe it wasn't sharp enough, since it didn't cut through the bone, but I assure you, dear readers, that had the knife been angled a different way, I would be thumbless, and the opposable thumb is what makes us human! This has put a bit of a cramp in my plans for writing, cleaning, organizing, repairing and painting! Typing hurts, frankly. Anyway, I thought I would post a few pictures of our adorable pets, Frumious Bandersnatch, Lily Belle, and Chopper.

Next up: Reflections on the Wedding with new photos!
