Beach Girl

Akumal Mexico

We had a great trip down to Akumal Mexico.  The weather was like the picture all week.  I posted way too many pics on my .mac site if anyone is mildly interested.

Ten years

I was just reading in the paper about St. Peter celebrating it's ten year anniversary since the big tornado hit the town.....got me to thinking.  Ten years ago I was dating Keri, ( I think that was how her name was spelled), and I went down to St. Peter to see the town after it was hit.  I remember talking about it to Anita (who I worked with).  Sub-Zero was in it's early stages, and we were invited to go to Boston for their Easterns tournament.  Tross had helped to place us in the elite group.  I was considering going, but wasn't sure because I wasn't much of a big traveler.  I was living in St. Louis Park in a drab apartment because I didn't care much about the character of a building.  I pretty much only ate take-out food and frozen pizzas.  When I had a vacation, I would stay in town, because, again, traveling wasn't on the radar.  I still work at the same place, but I was definitely no leader at the practice...which was just beginning to be controlled by the management group that we had a huge lawsuit against.  I think about how I was, and how I am....I am still the same guy, just found more of my way....

Spring?

It felt like spring for a few days.  People were out walking around, stretching their legs.....Not that it isn't a bit warmer, but we woke up to a good couple of inches of snow today.  The BoB does travel well through it, however.   Oh well, 30's the rest of the week, then hopefully.......

Bella wrestles Byron

You keep a knockin' but...

You can't come in because we all sick....what a week. Anita had a nasty cold/fever that turned into a sinus/ear infection.  Bella was also in the exact same boat, and I had just a smidge of a cold.  Bella seems better, she is now motoring around the dining room trying to lick Byron.  Nasty.

New tricks

Ahhh tupperware.

Snow sculptures

We went to the snow sculptures at the fairgrounds last weekend during our couple of nice days before the deep freeze.  Bella seems to like the backpack, and really, 17 pounds on my back is not too much to bear.

Bella is one!

Turns out she eats like her dad!
