Pins out!!!!!!!
(Kitty Joyce Press Release)
CHICAGO, Jan. 22--Friends and readers who have been following the post-surgical saga of the broken finger will be pleased to note this historic day.
Healing continues to progress as well as or better than expected following the removal of two immobilizing pins, a spokeswoman said Thursday.
The market reacted positively to this news, although some lying down was required initially. Activities such as washing the afflicted hand and putting on long-sleeved sweaters with elastic commence immediately.
We expect a gradual return of activities such as shoe-tying and mitten-wearing, with a good outlook for two-handed typing by early February.
Analysts expect flinching, grimacing, and shuddering to decrease rapidly, although the outlook for sighing ruefully remains strong through the first quarter.

Having had pins removed myself I can tell you that the markets are a bit squeamish about this sort of thing, and may react adversely to the news in the short term. I wouldn't shift your investment strategy though because the long term outlook is rather positive.

Remember the oven mitt strategy -- I saw some extra-long cream-colored ones at Crate and Barrel yesterday and thought of you!
