What I'm doing now

My mother (hi Mum!) recently commented that my site hasn't been updated in a while, so here we are!
One of the reasons I finally got around to this is a forced period of very low mobility: I'm recovering an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair right now. The surgery was on Monday (April 21), and while I'm recovering nicely, the doctor's orders are to keep my affected leg in a brace locked straight for now. So I'm on the couch writing this with my leg up on two pillows. The dominant emotion around the whole experience so far is gratitude: for it having been painless, for having had a mostly injury-free life so far, and for the love and attention of my patient wife while I am yet another person for her to take care of (alongside our 9-month-old daughter).

What is this page?

It's inspired by Derek Silvers' idea that he explains here.
Basically this is my replacement for Facebook status updates – if you want to know what I am up to, this is the place to check. I'll try to keep it relatively current.
If I fall off the pace and you are wondering what's going on, I'd appreciate the commitment device of you reaching out to me on Twitter!
