Grassi Lake Trail

I'm hiking with Fiona and Denis a littlr west of Calgary. This happened in July and was on of the best days of the 6-week road trip.
I met Denis and Fiona a couple years while hiking/rambling on the Wainwright trail across England

Not such good news

Haven't written much since June because there wasn't much fun to share.  I returned to Tucson earlier than planned because I wanted to see a local hand surgeon about my finger.

Had the splint removed from my pinkie and the tendon didn't reattach.  That means I'll have a permanently bent finger or have the finger fused into a straight line.  I'm going to wait a few weeks to see how much it bothers me before making a decision.

The good news is that it doesn't seem to adversely affect cycling.  I'm heading out in a few days for the Paralympics in London followed by a couple weeks cycling in Italy.  Traveling should give me a good feel for what I will do about the finger.

Oh well,  guess that is what happens when one is physically active.
