january recap

On the last day of each month I'm going to recap what went on in the past 30-some (a 30-sum? don't mind if I do!) days. Let's see what I did this month:

I started the month off by blasting off to Buffalo on New Year's eve with Reese, Rollo and moms. On New Year's day, we attended the most amazing hockey game I've ever seen - the NHL Winter Classic. We met our good friend Petey there and pregame'd in the blistering cold. We even saw the mounties mount-up for a man-hunt!

The next week saw me spend five days in Philadelphia for some SAP training. The trip there was mind-numbing but once I was settled in my suite, it really wasn't that bad. The internet connection left a lot to be desired and they didn't have Nickelodeon, but the training center was nice and served a free lunch. All you can eat, baby.

I arrived home that Saturday, in time to finally buy books for my two graduate courses (which is a story in itself). How quickly Mondays and Thursdays have become my bane! These two days are stretched so thin that I'm arriving home no earlier than 9:00, which says a lot about what I can eat for dinner (hint: not much). Who eats dinner after 7:00 anyway? Needless to say, I'm appreciative that I can actually attend class again but its coming at an exhausting expense. Heh, I'll adapt.

For what time remained in January it seemed like anything could happen. Reese and I spoke with a mortgage broker, a realtor, a lender and a rental specialist to discuss our housing options (which we're still working on). On Sundays, we'd watch football and hit a case of Sam Adams "Winter Beers" HARD. There were a few excellent bar nights in there too, hailing from both Uniontown and California. McBride and I started a lifting program, the Cal U Ultimate Frisbee team welcomed me back and I've even orchestrated the first meeting of my groomsmen. All things considered, I've had a damn productive month!

Tomorrow, I'll unveil the new February headliner image! It's rrrrrrrrrrrandy!
