Happy New Year!

Chad wins the household hard core athlete award for riding outside on New Year's Day. The temps were in the low 30s, feels like mid-20s. I took the day off. From exercise. Somehow I managed to eat and drink a record amount of chocolate. I did have a wrestling match with the rose bush outside and although I may have won the match, the war is clearly not over.

We had a quick but good visit with my folks and grampa. They are on their way to Florida for some sunshine! I hope the weather continues to provide them a pleasant escape from the dark and cold New England winter.

We played 5 rounds of "catch phrase". My parents won the first two games but Chad and I were able to pick up on our communication cues for the third game and ended up winning games 3 and 4. The tie breaker was a close one, but I guess our ability to go the distance athletically helped us keep our minds sharp - and victory was ours!! This must be a good sign for 2009.

Happy New Year!
