Theraflu is disgusting

Okay, I am going to take the torrential rain, gale-force winds, power outage, and my severe sore throat as signs that the powers-that-be want me to take the time to start posting regularly. Well, not really (why would the powers-that-be knock out the power if they wanted me to use a computer), but feeling like crap and not being able to do anything else but lay on the couch and wait for NFL wild card weekend to start has guilted me into making attempt #2 at keeping a blog.

There is much that has happened since last April, but for the sake of sustainability, I'll take it easy this first post. I'll just summariz1e the holiday season by saying that I got all sorts of things I wanted for Christmas, including lots of goodies under the tree as well as a mellow family-stress-free holiday. The other thing I got was a ski outing on Christmas day...during which CGT broke his thumb. Oops. He was very pissed and ready to throw out his skis, but I think he's getting over it...and maybe might someday consider possibly skiing again. New Year's was also mellow--recuperation time for our work-weary souls.

More later...hopefully.
