Happy New Year

Hello all,

It's been a while since my last post. Oliwia, Sofie and I all find ourselves healthy heading into 2007. Sofie had her first visit from Santa Claus (pureed carrots) and ushered in the new year by graduating to a variety of ooohs and aaahs. She gets cuter every day.

The holiday season was enjoyable with a lot of rest. We had time to see our family and many of our friends. Christmas Eve was spent with Clark, Virginia and Art. Nothing too eventful but just a nice time to sit down, have a drink and enjoy some conversation. Christmas Day was spent with Jeff and my family. It included by playing Monopoly and watching the Cowboys get handled by Philly. We'll see what happens in the playoffs. New Years was calm and we briefly visited with the Rikers but were relaxed at home as the "ball" fell in Salt Lake.

As for New Year's reolutions, Oliwia and I have the standard fitness goals. My goal is to pass the CFp and hers, her qualifiers. As a final note, I tried riding the wall on Dec. 30th and failed. The streak of consecutive successful climbs ends at 25. It was muddy but doable as the aspect has allowed most of the snow to melt. There are snow patches up to the plateau and I cleared all of that. Well, the new streak will start shortly.

Cheers,
