We're at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital waiting. He was originally scheduled as the second case around noon, but got bumped due to an emergency case. He'll go in for pre-op around 2:30. We'll know more later. He looks good, up and about.

Thanks to the four readers, Tall, Russell, Bryan and Katie, for all the good thoughts and well wishes. And to the family members reading as well.

As for the inconsequential stuff, took the Blue Line out on Saturday to meet up with Al. But forgot my ring, so Tracy had to bring it out last night. Felt naked without it. Ate at Three Brothers a couple of times. Brought dad in last night. Also managed, I think, to make the Time Capsule workable by downgrading to the 7.3.2 firmware.
