Kris’s Voice Recognition Error of the Week: “The thief excerpt from the gnome's e-mail …”

Kris's lesson of the week: Yesterday my big toe hurt A LOT. I looked up symptoms. It sounded more like arthritis than gout. When I got in bed, it was so painful I wasn't sure I could sleep. It felt like a needle stabbing the side of my toe. Touched my foot and -- pulled a thorn out of the side. Moral: when you live in New Mexico, the first response to pain should be to ask, "Is something stabbing me?"
