In case anyone wondered:
I wonder which quarter? Mer.
I did a good job cutting my finger with a Very Sharp Knife (tm). I figure I'd almost made it through my first quarter century without doing it, so I might as well do it right. I still have a fingertip, but I was a bit worried there for a while whether I still had an artery and nerves that were hale and whole. I am pleased to report casualites no more serious than a fair amount of blood that went down the kitchen sink. A side note- playing with blood and water, while somewhat morbid, is really cool.
Hardcore racqettball is hardcore.
