The Best-Laid Plans

Scott and I were supposed to be taking a week's vacation back East this week. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. I posted some of the headlines in Twitter over the weekend, but if you're not a Twitter fan, here's the long and the short of it:

On Friday afternoon we were told that what we though was a mild-to-moderate shoulder injury Scott suffered while out on a bike ride was, in fact, a lot more severe than that -- basically, the accident broke both the left ball joint and shoulder blade in several places -- and surgery was required to put Scott's shoulder back together.

He went under the knife first thing Saturday and is now home recovering. The vacation has been canceled. Long-term, Scott will be just fine, and everything could be much, much worse -- which I'm infinitely grateful for -- but I am also bummed about the lost vacation. We don't travel home anywhere nearly as often as I would like.

There's a lot of interesting things going on out there in the world to blog about, but I'm not feeling very bloggy right now. Please feel free to peruse my blogroll for a list of folks doing a much better job of this blogging thing than I am.

Eh, it happens. Was the pavement damaged at all?

I wasn't there when it happened, so I have no idea.

Skawt:

Sorry, I forgot to take pictures. I'm pretty sure I'm the only thing that shattered in the impact.

Loooney2ns:

I think "The Brute" survived the crash better than Scott.

All the Brute got was a minor scrape on one of the handlebar grips. Of course, I made up for the lack of damage to the bike.
