No Drugs Update

Going out to run with the club out in the snow globe this a.m. Perversely looking forward to it. I was born and raised here in MN, so I love winter wonderland mornings. Probably will be wet, though. Then I'll come home and continue trying to get into a holiday mood. It's a NCCH Christmas -- no children coming home -- for the first time since the first was born almost 30 years ago. Feels kindof sad, but that was the most practical thing to do given travel plans for the last week in December. Time passes and even the most familiar rituals evolve. I am excited for apres-xmas in London; and D-2 has said she'll come on a running trip with me in January -- who'd have thunk that a few years ago, before mom got off her fat ass! Life and family -- bring it on.

Wierd observations department. It appears to be a foods-in-the-news day on Google. Rice has made a surprise visit to Iran, and the US has helped turkey (Turkey) hit rebels in Iraq. Or maybe that was a Jive Turkey, which is not food, but an embarrassment to one's race (pick one).

But how about those Vikes? Still underdog enough that sloppy play is cute, and beating Chicago's dead-horse offense is a plucky come-from-behind victory. What's next from those crazy madcap kids and their pot-smokin', strip-club-frequentin' player-sports-psychologist mentors.

Over and out.

Hah, Nawrocki! Two Posts in One Year

After taking heat for not keeping up with my blogging from a certain outlaw nephew from Texas, I realize I must reassert my legitimacy as a member of the Internet generation, Boomer division.

So here is a post. And, now that Google has taken over the world, this blog is now part of my Google family of software-as-a-service products. I promise to buy something from a Google advertiser one of the days; I mean it.

Now I just have to resist the urge to apologize to myself for not writing much in this letter. But, the reality is, I don't have much time just now, so I'll only make a quick list of "who am I to say" topics for year-end 2007 ...

Middle management is stunting my growth

I wish my government would put down their fiddles and start putting out the fire

How am I making sure I don't have to take drugs to stay alive

My brilliant offspring and their mission to change the world

See you soon, 2008
