    AG: how's his hat wearing skill?

    Lise: congrats to your Mom. My Mom also went back to school for her Masters when I was a pup. I was (and am) very proud of her. She's long retired but still volunteers at the local library.

    I forget who and where and what page someone wished I had "opened up a can of whoop a##" on the intruder I had Tuesday Night. Impressive and gratifying as that might have been I reflect that nothing I can learn will make me bullet proof Knot hopes to sit in on a class and see me figure out my left foot from my right when next she's down this way.

    I got the mutt a new doggie bed, the type that's bowl shaped. I'd read they make dogs feel "more secure" not that the mutt is insecure or anything. Right now she thinks it's one giant squeekie toy and is playing with it. Her previous beds all the "big pillow" style.

    Hope she figures out it's a bed

    AG: Ooooh, sounds promising. Dinner and a concert? Sweet! I hope it goes well for you. *crosses fingers really hard* I talked to Roy at your LBS and asked him what he thought, and I am going to get the new gearing tomorrow after all. Even thought I might be able to achieve a higher HR with the old gearing, it makes sense to base my training zones on what I'll be training with.

    Lise: That's amazing re: your mom. Sounds like a wonderful woman.

    In other news ...
    I didn't buy any diet, caffeine-free soda at the grocery store tonight, so I'm officially trying to give that up, too. I only have 1-2 cans a day, but it's going to be a lot harder to give that up for me than caffeine. I bought some caffeine-free green tea.

    I'm so glad it's Friday, but it was a loooong day at work. So tonight I'm looking forward to just tidying up a bit and kicking off my shoes and relaxing with some tea.

    Chao!

    WOW - you guys have been chatty since my last log on. But I guess it has been about a week so it stands for reason. We have been remodeling our kitchen but with work and all its a slow process. I've missed you guys (sorry you are sick MOM - hope you feel better real soon. Of course, I imagine your son wishes it moreso than me ).

    I just read the post of the "strongest Dad" - I'm blubbering like an idiot and my nose is all runny.......

    AG - I really hope the date goes well and he calls you again. **Crossing fingers next to OTG.** What kind of concert? Have fun tonight!!

    How's about a ride on Sunday? I think OTG is setting something up. Might be the last good w/e for a long time... the wind is really howling out there.
    Well, I've got an appearance to make at a local club. It's time to catch up with a special friend.

    update and off to vacation!

    hello everyone. just a quick update before i head out for vacation.

    went to the foot dr today. love the dr. she is super nice. though she wanted to do one foot then the other. i played the "i live in the bush and its hard to get to town card" so she agreed to do both feet at the same time. i had to promise i would stay off them for no less than 2-3 weeks or more. that means hello wheel chair. i rather be put up for a few weeks than 6-8 months. i'm ok with this, now. she said its going to hurt.... BAD! oh well. i'll bite the bullet. she thinks i'm crazy, i think i am too, but i'm stubborn enough to do it this way. i'll probably do it in the first part of january.

    i'm off to the philippines tonight at 2 am. i'll be back on the 21st. ya'll have a wonderful month. kit and X take notes and keep me updated if anything happens that i should know about.

    one last thing... i saw a movie in the theater last night, big thing for me. anyhow. i saw Casino Royale. ok so my modivation for it was eye candy, 1st bond movie i've seen. couldn't tell you much that happened but there were some great shots of "bond, james bond" in it. yozers! highly recommend it.

    try not to have to much fun without me. i'll be thinking of you while i'm gone and relaxing.

    CC-Have an awesoem time this weekend.

    Kit-I am glad the card arrived and provided some entertainment.

    Nanci-Have a wonderful ride. I do so hope things turn around for Roy and your daughter finds peace.

    Lise-Congrats to your mother. Have a wonderful weekend with J.

    Trek-I love the fact your dog finds her new bed a chew toy. I am also glad to hear you know you are not bullet proof.

    Dar- I am sorry to hear you are getting blown off. They have no idea what they are missing. Have a safe trip and a wonderful visit with Scott. He is in my prayers.

    AG-No snow in my section of Ohio. It finally cooled off. I was feeling better do I went for a late night jog-not a run, a slower paced jog. It was lovely and cold.
    I hope you are having a great time tonight! My fingers are crossed as well.

    CWR-I am happy the doctor was nice and you stood firm (no pun intended). 2-3 weeks is much better than drawing it out. Enjoy your vacation! You will be missed! Be safe.

    X-have a great time tonight. I am alive and feel fairly good after going for a cool, snowless, but windy jog.

    Knot-my appetite is back, what is for dinner? You always make the best meals.

    BMo3 - here's what I had for dinner: hot chocolate, corn chips, pickled herring, dark chocolate, more corn chips, some cheese, more hot chocolate.

    Not a stellar night at Chez Knot.

    I have left-over chicken soup in the fridge, but i'm sick of it. gotta bag it and freeze it tonight.
