Diary Entry For January 11, 2009
After spending a week in Texas, we've been really questioning our choices of living in Minnesota especially considering the crazy winter we've been having. Then we remembered that unlike our family members down South, we have the option to go sledding! And the world felt right again!
The boys were excited to discover that the hill was so covered with ice that they didn't even need to use a sled!
Avery liked to build up extra speed before he went down so he'd get some air on this jump and then land hard on the ice below. It's nice that the true value of the tail bone as an important body part isn't really recognized until much later in life.
This is a video I made of our little sledding trip. It's not that thrilling.
On Friday afternoon, I spent my lunch hour bowling with my co-worker, Nick Forga. Nick is a semi-professional bowler who placed in the top 1100 of the 57,000 people who went to the Bowling Nationals last year. Needless to say, I don't think my 112 average intimidated him all that much.
On Friday night, a group of the guys gathered at Rob Bauer's house for a little Texas Hold 'Em tournament. Naturally, my skills as a card shark led me to be the first one eliminated from the tournament. But it was a bunch of fun watching my friends play for the next couple of hours!
Avery has been practicing basketball for the past month or so, but his first game wasn't until Saturday. We were impressed to discover that his team is pretty darned good winning their first of the season by a score of 19-4. Unfortunately, none of those baskets were scored by Avery but we were happy to see him out there working hard setting picks for his team-mates and pulling down some rebounds. His Michael Jordan moments will come some day.
We received a call from Dr. Singh on Wednesday regarding the results of Luke's 24 hour heart monitor that he had to wear last week. Luke was very happy to hear that he is not going to need to get a Pacemaker in the immediate future. Dr. Singh said that Luke's heart rate looked "reasonable" and that we don't need to rush anything. He said we can just let Luke continue to have fun and grow for the time being and we'd reevaluate where we are at his next appointment in 6 months. Needless to say, we all breathed a sigh of relief that we don't need to do it right away!
On Saturday afternoon, we all went to see the cheerful movie Marley and Me. We haven't had this much fun since our beloved dog Rudy died.
Miss Sheri just can't wait to see the new Friday the 13th movie!

Honey, I'm worried about the kids.
Quote of the Week “The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it.” – Welsh proverb Joke of the Week Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I ease my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully get out of the car and open the trunk. I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so lifelike you wouldn't believe! They are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers. But to my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men. And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting their horns and waving like crazy. It wasn't long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of his car and starts walking towards me. I could tell he was not a happy camper! 'What's going on here?' 'My car has a flat tire', I said calmly. 'Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?' I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him, 'Helloooooo, those are my emergency flashers!'

"Almost everyone who's buying hardware is doing downgrades [to XP]. Microsoft really does want people to go to Vista then to Windows 7, but what else would they say?"
