NEWS  - This has been a long, difficult year. My wife has been ill. I can say one positive thing for me I have Dupuytren’s  Contracture, a mysterious condition which causes fingers, especially four and five, to curl back into the palm and become useless. I had a procedure, an enzyme injection, and my extremely bent little finger is now straight again. That is good news. I don’t have many jobs, but they are nice ones. Check the calendar.
