Just to prove that I am actually at the library working on the final draft of my manuscript, and not sitting at the Beachcomber with a bottle of Dos Eques and a basket of hot wings, this is my current view from across the small table I am now sharing.
For some reason, I’m really craving some chicken fingers right now…

I'm married to the perfect woman, have four great kids, and a tenuous grip on my sanity...

Obviously a front as I see potential wings and cheese sticks peeking out from behind that screen at the ‘Internet cafe’ where you are holding court.
Finger-licking good, Beth…
Ummm…. so, that guy’s finger…?
I’m not going to point any fingers…
Besides, it looks like someone beat me to it.
Geppeto?
Thanks for the tip.
Gladly. Thanks for the digit photo.
It was a snap.
I must admit this — you nailed it.
Don’t sell yourself short; you didn’t knuckle under.
Don’t be stingy. Pass me that joint.
Not until you pull that finger out of your nose… oh, sorry…
I’m Dutch.
Wow! He just got taken away by the cops after someone fingered him.
Is his name Jack Horner?
It will be if he goes to prison.
YOU WERE SITTING ACROSS FROM AN ILLINOIS GOVERNOR!!!
I am shocked you haven’t gotten kicked out of the library yet!! lol
They like me here. I don’t know why. Must be my sunny disposition. And maybe an overdue book.
He probably lost the end of his finger saving some small child who was about to meet a horrific death, you should be ashamed of yourself!! (Quite humorous though!)
Simmer down. I asked him how he lost it. He said he didn’t even realize it was missing. He’s looking for it as we speak…
I am actually laughing out loud right now!! That was funny! My cat is looking at me like I’m nuts.
Maybe the mouse at it?
Haha!
I meant ate…. As in chewed, on awed, nibbled….
Oh! Hey,,, maybe he’s a nail bitter and he got carried away? Sorry… I work at an ortho clinic and we see many injuries like this… Chainsaws are a big one!
Jeepers! I can’t type. iPhone is going crazy… KNAWED!
Well, I suppose it could have been a mouse with a chainsaw…?
We actually had a word for fingers like tat as kids… I don’t think I can use it. It might mean something really bad now….
Just looking at this photo gives me wire rage. I can cast an entire web around my house and still find some underneath a bed or desk somewhere… Is wire rage common amongst writers?
Only when it comes from the Associated Press.
yes. I would definitely say he is giving you ….the bird.
That was a cheep shot…
ROFLMAO!!
I. CANT.BREATHE!
CHEEP CHEEP
CAW CAW
I think maybe he just overused that particular finger and likely the last time was not well received.
LOL! Wait, we’re talking about his nose, right?
That’s why you should alternate fingers when clicking the mouse! So I’m guessing you turned the shutter sound off before you took this photo 😀
Good tip… well, you know what I mean 😉
