Sounds like it went well, Drew. Good deal.
Reminds me of another story ... Wife decided she didn't feel like cooking Saturday evening, and asked me to order from one of our favorite restaurants a couple towns south of us. I did, and left to go pick it up. As I got almost there, she sent me a photo of her hand and accompanying text saying, "I think I'm going to need stitches." There was a large tear in the skin around the base of her thumb. I called her and she told me she was stepping over the 3' tall pressure-fit gate we use to keep the foster dog out in the sunroom, lost her balance, and went tumbling across the floor. She apparently hit her hand on something, probably one of the metal fittings on the gate, and tore it open pretty good. She drove herself to the hospital in Highland (while I was still 10 mile away in the other direction), where she received 5 stitches to close the wound.
That pressure-fit gate was promptly replaced with a metal swing gate when I got home.
On a brighter note, the bluegill sammich was still good even at near room temperature an hour and a half later.
