    We had teaser snow today. I was already to gear up, snap into my XC skies and stand on the front porch and cry. But I live in town and people would point and laugh.

    Yet another incentive to come in last.

    Just found out my mom has to have a carotid artery stent inserted. She's been having vision problems in one eye, along with some pain. After a whole lot of tests to rule out strokes, nerve damage, etc. they've discovered one artery is 95% blocked. She doesn't seem terribly worried - so I guess I should remain calm, right? This will happen on the 25th.

    GWBush is making a speech, so I'm watching Star Trek Voyager. That's as political as I'm getting tonight!

    Hope your mom is feeling okay.


    We're watching the Voyager we taped earlier...just so we could avoid the speech.

    yes, very very unusual, we've gotten no snow that sticks for several years now while outlying areas get plenty.

    The History of Thread Drift In Triathlon Forum

    I posted something in Triathlon about "is it ok to walk the run part of a tri". The thread wandered a bit, and I posted something remarking on the drift. Nanci posted "Thread Drift" and history was born!

    So, I guess it's Nanci's and my child? A loooove child. Cuz I looooooved TD and like I said, darn near lived on it!

    I am home, looking out the window. Yes. we'll have stories of commutes being over 6 hours long tomorrow. we have a website where you can watch the traffic
    http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/seattle/

    It keeps crashing because it's so busy, and if you check, there's a lot of black
    that means gridlock.

    We've got maybe 2 inches? The roads are pretty slick, though.

    Lots of people were calling the clinic to see if we were still open, and of course we were. Lots of patients cancelled, too; mainly because so many of our roads were treacherous. One patient called from the ditch his car had slid into, to say he wouldn't be making it today!

    I think we should've sent all the shoulder patients out to the parking lot to scrape snow off our cars... hey! Functional activity! Good exercise!
