So, for those who don't know, I had a fall on an icy hill last month and this happened (warning: graphic X-ray). (As an aside, to hear people make fun of me for it, listen to this episode of Stop Podcasting Yourself and fast forward to 62 mins in.)

And so, I've been sentenced to quite a bit of recovery (read: doctor's orders not to put weight on my right leg for three months, so sitting around at home a lot) and so I've had time to read about what's going on in the world these days. What a time to have time to soak the world in.

Sitting around, as I am, leaves me thinking about what to do.

Already we've written letters to our MP (find your MP's address here), the PM, the US Embassy (though the Ambassador was dismissed) and to the Cheeto-in-Chief. It takes time to write and send letters by hand, but I'm told they're more likely to get noticed.

Already we've attended our local Women's March and plan to attend a local Rally against Islamophobia. (Not easy with a broken hip, but the wheelchair wasn't bad for a limited amount of time.)

Next, for me, is asking you guys. What are your thoughts? Hopeless? Hopeful?

What suggestions do you have? What else can we all do?

Thanks Par! Everyone is doing fine! I'm sure the grandparents already have a million pictures by now.

Congrats, Uncle Al. All the best to Chris and the new baby!

Just became an uncle today. Still trying to figure out what that means.

Just making sure the Canadian content on this board is met.
