Hmm. Not all that good, actually. Colleen didn't get her cast; instead the bone was reset and she got a new (heavy, uncomfortable) splint that immobilizes both her elbow and her wrist. Which, I suppose, is necessary -- she was seen by the sports medicine orthopedist who specializes in this kind of break, after all -- but makes her life really difficult.

The two good things about the whole trainwreck are that it prompted me to make her scooter more stable, and forced her to switch from a walker to a cane.

It was a productive but slightly frantic day at work, too. Lots of things getting done at the last minute, or slightly beyond it, with nobody in the loop whose job is making sure stuff doesn't fall through the cracks. I try, but don't always succeed. Still, I think we have a usable build in the factory; that's the important thing.

Looked unsuccessfully for Otterbox waterproof boxes at Fry's; that was also my walking for the day, because it was rather cold when I went out at noon. Of course, it had warmed up considerably by the time I got back to work, but since I had a meeting to go to I couldn't take advantage of it.

I shouldn't have started looking at otter boxes -- now my new suitcase wants a pet. I'm doomed. Came home to find that the box I have is actually larger than the one I was looking at. (This morning I ordered a second one, because it's the perfect size to serve as a footrest when playing guiter, and that way I'd have one for home and one for travel.)

I did get in some singing -- the Bears, QV and Wheelin' -- and some guitar geeking with Moira's brother Mark. He has written a book on guitar tunings, which looks quite useful (though I'm not sure how much I'll use it).

A couple of links under the cut.
