Of note was a surprise gathering at the office of a bunch of friends. It was really great, and I was blown away seeing so many people there to offer their support for my upcoming trips to Richmond. It's really humbling to see that many people come out to send me off. And, not to miss the really cool element - they got me a Wii and a bunch of games, to support me in my convalescence. I've been talking with Jane for some time now about getting one, since I'll need exercise and some mental stimulation while confined. I think this will help :)
So today was lots of fun. It was kind of like a get well soon party, where you don't have to be sick to enjoy it. Thanks a bunch everyone who came and who sent their best wishes. I'll be sure to post high scores on the blog. I really appreciate it and hope to be back at PRA soon!
Now where's that Wii manual? Reading the manual is a first for me - strangely enough, as a tech writer by trade, you'd think I'd eat that kind of thing up. Nope. I hate manuals. They're dull, often inaccurate, and quite frankly, I'd rather play with a device for a half hour than browse through a bunch of diagrams to figure out how button x works.
But for the Wii - because it's important - I'll read the manual. Or some of it...

Editor's note:
Patrick did not, in fact, bother to read the manual.
