The Blizzard of '09
The Blizzard of '09 has arrived! Of course, a blizzard in NC consists of 1 inch of crusty snow, but we'll take what we can get. We let Kona out for a bit and she seemed to enjoy the snow every bit as much as she used to in MT and VA. maybe we can get some video of HJ and Kona playing later.
By the way, if you live in the area and did not get enough snow, you can pick up some extra here.
In other news, the Travis weight loss challenge is progressing well. Despite gorging myself on Greek food Sunday, I lost another 3 pounds this weekend, bringing my two-week total to 9 pounds lost. I think that total is deceiving, because I probably started at +10 pounds from my body's usual equilibrium, thanks to my annual holiday binge, but it's still encouraging to make good progress in the beginning.
I'm also excited about my Steelers' chances in the Superbowl. If I can squeeze $40 out of my Feb. budget, I might make good on my dream of dressing HJ in a Bettis throw-back jersey.
If ARO closes later (rumors are flying), I'll see if I can live-blog the Inaugural events.

Glad you all are enjoying the snow!! Up in Annapolis we're "high and dry" (navy pun intended).
I'm jealous that you got to watch a Carolina game with Kristy and Jen. I've yet to find anyone here who's as big a sports fan (well, maybe my dept chair). Tell them "hello" for me next time ya'll are together. I did get to hang out with BethAnn and family at the end of Dec, and that was fun!
Brad, make sure to let us know the next time you are in North Carolina and we'll plan a time to have everyone get together! I'd love to see you and catch up.
Miles, sorry for hijacking your blog to talk to Brad, but I'm not sure I have a valid email address so this is the simplest way to do it!
By the way Miles, if I didn't like you so much I'd kick you in the shins for being able to lose 9 pounds in two weeks. It is incredibly unfair that men can lose weight so quickly.
Do any of the other TWJ readers feel my pain on this one? :)
We must have had a different snow storm than you did! We measured outside with a tape measurer and had 5.5 inches. Also, the snow was very powdery -- so much so that it was VERY difficult to keep our promise to Anna and make a snowman.
