Well, winter is over half-over. So things should start to warm up soon. Before too long, you’ll be able to do some of that reading outside. 
I’ve never heard of Hitch.
My wrist is doing much better. I really lucked out. It turned out not to be broken, and all I had was a form of tendonitis called ‘De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis’
To fix it, the doctor gave me a shot of cortisone right where the tendons were hurting, and then gave me a splint to wear that holds my thumb still. Within a week of the treatment, all pain subsided, and I’ve started lifting weights again (on a small scale at the moment, but hope to build back up to where I was by the summer). The bills for the treatment were $600. So I have to get cracking on some DJ gigs to pay for that one.
The lady in New York and I have decided to be “just friends.” She’s not too happy with that, but I believe she understands my predicament. I have come into contact with a new lady (from Russia), who wants to come see me already. I don’t know about this either, just because she’s so far away. But she insists that if she comes to visit, and we decide to be together, she’ll move to the US. I feel much more positive about this one than the lady from New York. However, I haven’t yet even heard her voice. She’s supposed to call me tomorrow for a chat. Hopefully, it will go well.
Well, enjoy your studies. I’ll catch you the next time you come up for air.
