Winter Wonderland

Hello all. The last few days here have been cold and snowy. Not nearly as cold as what the GF residents are experiencing, but cold for here. Last night it got down to below 0; the first time I think that has happened since we moved here. On Thurs we had a big winter storm move through, dumping 10 inches of snow. At 11am, they closed the Trek factory, so I got to head home and negotiate the snow-covered roads at 15mph (stupid Wisco drivers once again). Worked from home the rest of the day, so that was fun.

Thurs night we decided to head out sledding again. Vontoux loves the snow. I think he likes the winter much more than the summer, because he gets too hot in the summer, and in the winter he just eats a bunch of snow when he gets thirsty.













Here's a lovely shot of Heathrow and Vontoux. His attention is elsewhere. :)













This is Heather's idea of an 'action' shot. I'm somewhere to the left of Vontoux's tail.













Here is Heather sliding down the hill. I estimated her speed at around 65mph. Vontoux was somewhere in front of her, which is remarkable at that speed.

Last night we went to The Friends of Bob and Tom Comedy Tour in downtown Madison. It was a really good time, really funny. It was at a cool old theatre that they are remodeling. I have been on-call all this week, which is annoying, but the extra money is good. I don't get many calls, but it sucks to carry the stupid phone with me everywhere (being that it is supposed to only be for 'emergencies', but dealers still call with stupid, definitely non-emergency questions).

Today we are going to pick up Heather's ring from the jewelry store. She's excited to get that back; now we'll be officially engaged. ;) Going to get a DVD player for downstairs as well with my Sears gift card. That will make trainer rides much more enjoyable.
