....because if it's snowing there like it is here you might as well sleep at work from what I hear of TN drivers.   I'm resisting the urge to crack a beer right now after the drive home to calm the nerves (boss-man was kind).

If that one woman would have pulled into the same parking lot as me I think I'd be in jail right now.  Her inept driving almost caused 3 accidents (2 of which would have caught me).

The run should be fun tomorrow C-R....if I can get out of my driveway.

Da Man said leave around 3:30 here. Can't see two blocks down the road and I'm on the 6th friggin floor. Tomorrow should be a blast if 1) I can get out of my driveway 2) if they cleaned any of the streets getting to the park and 3) if they cleaned any of the streets in the park. Heh

 

I guess black ice is bad per Tanya and her chattering groin. Hope that's only a TN issue.

We have about 1-inch of snow on the ground here in Milwaukee.  The forecast is for another 1/2 inch tonight. 

 

We have missed out on most of the recent fun. 

2010 goal = 4:59 for 1,500 meters.

Nothing here yet.  I will be heading home shortly and will try to get a couple of miles in before yoga.  Then I better make sure that there is gas in the snow thrower.
Run fast sometimes.

Don't let the bastard win.

 I did. My surprise was a pair of gloves. If you registered amongst the first fifty, you get a pretty cool looking buff. Not sure I would ever wear it, but the design looked kinda cool.

 First time I heard the word 'buff' was on Survivor. A bandana I'd say.
