Z is safely back home now and seems very pleased with her trip. She has gained a lot in understanding and had a few victories. She is also very happy with the 'stuffs' she bought, particularly the two sheepskin rugs for the floor of her new apartment. These should be an object of great interest in Malaysia.

Yesterday I mentioned to Right Foot that our little fingers were so small that they didn't serve much purpose at all and we could easily get by without them. This sparked a conversation about the things we couldn't do without a little finger. Three are:
that telephone gesture people do by folding down their middle three fingers and putting thumb and pinky to their mouth and ear;
the finger cocking that's required when drinking tea in polite society;
and punks who have HATE tattoed on their knuckles would have to settle for HAT or ATE.
