Description of Hands

It starts with the amount of hair on the back of the hand. Surprising. And then there are those little brown spots that have just emerged – the kind my father used to have. Mm, and all the hair is sweeping in one direction, like it was combed. Neat. It’s even on the fingers, but not much. More on the right hand than the left. The nails are nicely trimmed and the fingers are, well, long and thin for a man. I once heard my mother, or maybe it was my grandmother, say "he’s got piano fingers." The color is pinkish-yellowish-tan and the veins show through in places. Not much in the way of cuts or calluses or other dings, although there are quite a few bumps in the right palm that have been there for years, one emerging in the left, and lines in both. Not much more to it than that, except for the wrinkles.
