[pianotech] A Happy New year?

[John Formsma]

I'm on my second year of no split finger tips.

In the winter, I switch to moisturizing soap. And also use lotion...every
night before bed, but sometimes during the day if my hands feel very dry.

I remember Ron doesn't like how lotion makes his hands feel. I don't like
the split tips! :-) Anyways, there are lotions nowadays that aren't greasy.
