Thanks very much to my friends and readers of Operation Gadget who have called and written to wish me well since I broke my leg a week ago today. My recovery is going well. My orthopedist says that I will probably have my walking cast removed on February 20.

I had to give away all of the hockey games that I was scheduled to officiate for the rest of the regular season. This means that I have a lot more time to get things done in the office than I expected. I hope to use this time to finish some tasks that have been hanging over me for a long time.
