Sorry I'm so late with this post. I spent the morning in the emergency room with poor Tom, who roughed up his eye at work yesterday. It's just a scratched cornea and will heal, but for the moment he is miserable and incapacitated. At least now he has the eye properly patched and is asleep downstairs on the couch rather than wandering through Dover-Foxcroft like a pathetic yet wild-eyed (singular) landlocked pirate who has been forced to walk the plank with his wife's scarf and a wad of tissue wrapped around his head.

Oh, my. Hope Tom's eye heals quickly. That kind of injury is no fun.

There's something particularly grisly about the idea of an eye accidents; but as they go, this one is relatively minor. No "out, out, vile jelly," thank God.

I know how incredibly painful that can be -- glad he's resting comfortably! Still, the vision of the scarf and wadded up tissue was very amusing :)
