it is fine. i have a cyst thing (a barnacle on my bone!) but it is benign, and usually not painful. the doctor couldn't figure out what is wrong with my wrist, so we are assuming that it will go away once i get used to physical labor again. thank you very much for asking.

also: either today or tomorrow people are coming over to watch secretary. i will be making baked apples. would you and/or neil care to join us?
