That's a good idea about the ties. He opted to stay home today so we haven't tested the cold yet, but we have a couple of appointments to keep later in the day. I guess I'm playing chauffeur. We'll have a good idea if we need a warmer solution by the end of the day.

I had thought of those, but the cast is so very wide, I've never seen socks that wide. I will try to go into Mark's WorkWearhouse and see what they have. They do workwear so maybe they have size gargantuan...

Thanks Digger! I'll check that out momentarily!
