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.
