I’ve run out of fingers and toes for counting …

Not only did Saturday’s A Rugby Day cross the 100-visitor mark yesterday, we beat that mark silly with a final count of (drumroll please) … 174 visitors.
See that big green peak on the end of my weekly count graph … that’s yesterday. I’m fairly incredulous.
So, I’m granting All-Star status to the Oklahoma women who were [...]

75% Healed & 10 Reps of Stairs

That’s what my bone doctor says, I’m 75% healed, so it’s off with the splint. And I’m supposed to use the “buddy-taping” method to keep my finger safe and tape it to its neighbor.
