I wanted to update readers on some delays in production and publishing for the McKinley Park News this week: circumstances that highlight the peril of publishing journalism alone.

A new grooming brush for kitty inspired a sudden freak-out and deep bite into my finger. It seemed OK until pain and swelling started two days later, to the point I couldn't do much at all with my right hand.

A trip to immediate care resulted in a shot and prescription for antibiotics, which seem to be working well. I'm regaining use of my hand for typing and mousing, but the stiffness and swelling is still throwing off my accuracy and speed (normally about 90 WPM). 

I'll look forward to catching up as capabilities are now coming back. There's lots of great neighborhood news and updates, and I'll look forward to sharing them with you. Thanks for your patience during recovery from injury by cat: I've forgiven our kitty, who's usually very sweet.
