Happenings this week:

Toe: I saw a Sports Medicine Orthopedic Specialist yesterday for follow-up on my toe. The news was good. They re-took some x-rays and determined that the bone chip was not as pulled away as it looked on the first x-ray. That means no surgery (if it had been too pulled back it would need a wire to hold it in place) and only wearing the "cast boot" for 3-4 weeks instead of 3-4 months. So I'm pleased. It's still a pain getting around with the boot on, but it could be a lot worse.

Weather: Perfect Oregon summer - long, warm, sunny days. The only downside is when you have to work during them, and when your cast boot keeps you from all sorts of summertime outdoor adventures.
