Winter Blues

Winter is certainly here now! We do not get back above freezing for about another week. Not sure that there is any/much snow/ice forecast...but the cold weather will be miserable enough. Last weekend we took the chance to use the snow fall and go sledding in our yard. Due to the landscaping we had done a couple of years ago there is quite a nice slope that actually worked really well as a sledding slope. Depending on the sled selected, you could actually get up some speed and you needed to be careful not to hit the fence too hard. Gary and I acted as "goal keepers" of sorts, catching kids before they did any damage. Best performed sled was the cheap, plastic saucer...even more fun if spun around.

The calorie counting is going well. It is actually getting a little easier to get through the day without headaches, feeling dizzy and being generally miserable. There have been a couple of fun days interrupting my progress however these help to make the salads a little more tolerable. Hope to see some results soon.

Enjoyed the T20 cricket. I certainly agree with the hype that this will be the dominant form of the game for the masses. Hopefully tests do not go away but they will need to find a way to live side-by-side with T20 otherwise they will get swept away I feel.

Ready for the weekend with the kids. Mindy is going to Virginia tomorrow to see her family and so it will be just me and the kids for a few days. Not sure what we will do...but I am sure we wil have fun.
