Guilty

We sent some people to prison for a long time. At least now life is back to normal.

Monday

• 8 mile run (early AM)


• Jury duty


• Sledding with Lilly and the neighbor kids


• Holly rode the trainer in the basement

Tuesday

• Shoveled show before heading downtown. We got another 2".


• The end of jury duty. I was chosen as the foreman. We deliberated for 4 hours and handed back a guilty verdict on conspiracy to manufacture greater than 1,000 marijuana plants. Sentancing guidlines for this are 10 - life.


• Holly went to spin class at the shop - she said she worked hard.


• I went skiing from 9:15 - 10:00. I saw Neil and we lap raced up the big hill. It took 15 minutes to catch him. It was nice to put out a hard effort as I was really cold and needed some heat.

Wednesday

• Back to our normal routine


• Reading buddy at lunch


• Swimming laps while Lilly had swim class. I forgot our goggles - she was able to borrow some, I wasn't. One instructor called me a, "trooper". One more swim class this semester.

Thursday

• 7 mile run at lunch w/ Joe. Good to talk to him again.


• Lilly's gymnastics class:
  
  
  
  
  


• 1.5 hr ski at Elm Creek. Northern Lights was open - a little undulating and some dirty snow but very much skiable.

Friday

• 7 mile run at lunch w/ Todd, Joe, Eric H. I wasn't really winded but it seemed like it took all my energy to keep running. I suppose it doesn't hurt when it's 6 degrees with a 10mph wind.


• Beginning of the "Dad and Lilly" weekend as Holly is on the Birkie trail for a women's XC ski clinic with Diane.


• Built a fire and watched Frosty the Snowman.

Saturday

• Slept in until Lilly woke me up.


• Lounged around the house, played games and did the laundry.


• Ran some errands.


• Ate at White Castle.
  Lilly's first sliders:

• Ice skating up the street at Sorensen Park with the neighbor kids. The ice isn't quite ready. Which seems odd as it has been plenty cold.


• Built a fire and watched James and the Giant Peach. Lilly and I loved the book and the movie was good also.


• Ran on the elliptical to The Hunt for Red October. What a great movie.


• Made 4 batches of Chex Mix.

Sunday

• Slept in until Lilly woke me up. Found out later she was eating Chex Mix before I got up. What a stinker.


• It is raining - hard.


• Church


• Playing games inside - eventually with the neighbor kids.


• Ran on the elliptical. Pretty hard (avg hr: 156).


• Built a fire and watched Holly wrap Christmas gifts.


• Lilly in a long, skinny box:
  
  
  


• What a great weekend!
