We got a lot of snow last week, more snow than I've seen in a few years. As I got ready for bed more than 48 hours after the snow first began, I could still hear snow removal happening - blowers and plows and trucks battling the nearly two feet of powdery whiteness. It was truly … Continue reading Snowverwhelmed!

Celebrate Life – even in 5 degrees!
Yesterday was a day I was not looking forward to - the forecast for frigid weather, the loss of an hour, the long bus ride… I had a few moments when I even considered bailing on the half marathon I had committed to running, but I dug deep and found the motivation to get my … Continue reading Celebrate Life – even in 5 degrees!

Gestating that guy was an intense combination of … Continue reading My dirty dozen boy
