That is the view from my office today, where I am watching it snow and filling out forms for the IRS.
One day all of this will be yours lad.

When you get a promotion do they give you full sized blinds?

Interesting afternoon...
Ok, so myself and a few friends decided today to hit up an old ski hill and go sledding. I had a tutoring session so I met them down there. Left my Subaru at home and took the 4x4. And, got stuck. Really stuck in nasty sloppy snow. Got out without too much effort (love 3spd transfer cases) and headed down to the hill. Find out that 5 minutes before I showed up my buddy got his Sunfire stuck there too. It leads to a lake, it's insanely steep and it's maybe two feet wide. And it's packed down nicely. And of course I hit an alder doing two or three hundred on one of those magic carpet plastic things, followed by a 10 minute hike up the damn hill to find fire trucks, ambulances and cop cars at a gas station across the street. Some idiot just laid the nozzle in his filler neck and it leaked and ignited.
I went home before things got any more interesting.

Work is finally slowing down for me, About 75 percent of the ugly business with my father is behind me now. Baby birthday steadily approaches. I will be having my first baby boy around cinco de mayo. For almost a year now I feel like I have been running through a tunnel with no light at the end. I think I'm seeing a glimmer ;)
Morning Foo.

See, its bigger then that. The plane would be flying in from somewhere else.....apparently, the flight into Hartsfield was cancelled......but for the life of me, I can't see why....hell, the snow's not even hitting the ground yet...and not expected to until around noon.....the flight was at 10:30 this morning. God this pisses me off more and more I think about it.

That's probably what happened. It's that the flight couldn't get out of wherever to get to you. Sucks man... I'm sorry about that...

We got over 8" of snow yesterday. Dallas has an abundance of liveoka and magnolia trees, which are evergreen. Heavy wet snow downed branches all over the place, taking down power lines. We lost power at 9 PM last night. At work now, but took the morning off to have snow ball fights with the boys.

Well, it's after 1 pm and we still don't have any snow. I am so pissed at the airlines for cancelling my flight that I may have to beat the crap out of a heavy bag tonight.

jsharr, I'm driving down to Dallas tonight for a long weekend with the wife. How are the roads doing?
They are fine. temps never got below 32. I drove to work no problem. Only real problem is power outages and the NBA all star game making hard to get reservations for Valentines or anniversary, if let's say, you were stupid enough to get married on Feb. 15th some 13 years ago.......................
What part of Dallas will you be in? We are in Richardson, near the BikeMart.

we are still without power and I am supposed to have a surprise sitter show up at the house to watch the boys so I can take the wife out for a surprise hotel weekend for our 13th anniversary. Hit the bag for me too.

No kidding. I can't believe they showed it. Not only once, but three times.
I'm knackered. Went for a ride with the Antique Cycle Group to a winery and back. 70 odd km and most of that into a headwind it seemed.
Still it was a nice warm sunny Saturday.:D At least, until the last 10 minutes or so when the Southerly rolled in. I suspect that there will be some stiff and sore riders tomorrow, especially the Ordinary riders.

I can't believe that we're on tape-delay for the show right here 4 hrs down the road, and they fill the gap w/ replay after replay after replay after replay of that wipeout (and bloody aftermath). The ceremony was happening right then but they had to show us more luge death!

The internet is full of closeup photos of the guy's face as paramedics tried to revive him. I know that the photographer was trying to take shots he could sell; I'm more angry that the news outlets bought those shots and posted them.

It was extremely poor judgement on some exec's part to show the accident. They were showing at a time when kids could have easily seen it. The image of his body going instantly still is burned in my memory. I'd hate to have seen that as a kid.
