Welcome to the Milk Bar

It's amazing how much you can tell about a person by looking at their hands. High-powered executives with bitten nails, for instance. How confident are they really? Right now my hands are looking shockingly old, especially when every wrinkle is lit from the Mac's glow. If the light was better -- and I had my glasses on -- I could see the dirt under my nails, left there even after being scrubbed with Lee Valley's much-vaunted "World's Kindest Nail Brush". Maybe gardeners like me need a crueler nail brush?
