A Badger Ate My Finger

Debra and I are in southern Florida visiting her Aunt Blossom and Uncle Jack. I didn’t sleep well last night - apparently I’m coming down with something which made my throat sore, my sinuses hurt and my breathing noisy. Debra didn’t sleep well on account of the racket I was making, so at 6:00am I got up and sat on the floor and surfed on the laptop until 9:30 so she could get a few hours of sleep. Later, when Debra jumped in the shower, I took the chance to grab a quick thirty minute nap and I dreamed that a silver-backed badger chewed off the tip of my left index finger, after which I decapitated the badger with an ulu knife and retrieved my fingertip. Then I woke up.

I’m open to interpretations on this one.

Damn! Don’t you hate waking up before you get to sew your fingertip back on?

Could it have something to do with the fingerlicking-good last minutes of the Superbowl in which fingertips played a major part in both barely hanging on to the ball and barely missing the interception … and you feeling badgered about that?

… or should that be barely missing the interception?
