Good news, I got my personal blog working again. Had to take an old MySQL backup and configure it to work with the new server. I lost a couple comments, but other than that it's all there. I also finally lost the horrible big toenail on my right foot, after over a year of trying, so that's even better news. Fresh starts all around. To make myself feel better about the Packer loss, I posted some more inspiring quotes on my blog, this time all are by Vince Lombardi. Click here if you care. ************************** AM - Easy 5 miles on a fresh new layer of snow. Didn't wear watch. (Adrenaline blue: 491 miles) PM - having seen enough of the Packers humiliating themselves (and their fans) in front of the Bears, I bailed on the game drove up to Green Canyon and did some XC skiing. Lots of people up there; nice to see the ski community out and about. For fun, I took my Garmin to see how fast I was skiing. First two uphill miles were 15:04 and 15:53. Then I turned around and went downhill. I'm not very good down hills on skinny skis and leather boots, but I managed to do some snow plowing and not bite it at all, which is important when there's a lot of other people out there. 8:01 and 8:11 on the downhill miles. 47:06 for the whole 4-mile trek. Green Canyon was really beautiful, with huge amounts of snow hanging from the trees. I may try the golf course by the Planet Walk later this week if we get some more snow.
