just a hello, loved 11-13 and wonder where the men are now, the pinkie missing is a nice touch, adds a gritty realism, reminds me of somebody i know who lost three tips to a table saw in school. sigh...jack and ennis, robbing the cold of it's power, that was hot... and then ennis deciding to quit work... well of course!!
