Ran into something that disturbed me the other day...
Past coupla years, I haven't been shooting much (live in the city, no time 
for the range after work and so forth).  So, when I was in a pizza parlor 
last week, I tried one of those "Hogan's Alley" sorta things where you use a 
plastic .357 to blast video perps.  Lotta fun, but my right wrist was killing 
me afterwards (pain and numbness).  I figure that spending the last eight 
years pounding a keyboard for a living (tech writer/editor) has given me a 
dandy case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...which means that when I do go out and 
sling some lead, I can probably look forward to a painful afternoon.  (sigh)
Time to investigate wrist braces, I guess...
-MMM-
