I made it out of Virginia last week, a few days before the blizzard hit the area. I was gone for 5 days, home for 2 and now I'm out again for 2 days. Tomorrow I am working in Delray Beach and should be able to head home until after Christmas.

My Cardinals won their 9th game of the season, beating the Detroit Lions, and winning the NFC West division again. They will start the NFL playoffs at home in a few weeks. I'm not sure how far they'll go but one thing is for sure. This is an even better team than the one I saw in Superbowl XLIII in Tampa last February.

I spent some time cleaning the boat last weekend but there's much more work to do. I will spend some of my holiday time waxing the hull to a shine. I also would like to launch the boat and do a little fishing. I haven't been on the water since before Thanksgiving.

There's been a nasty cold front that entered our area. Today's temps never got above 60 and I wore a coat all day outside. By Thursday we should see 80 again. I love Florida in the winter. Speaking of winter, today is the winter solstice. The days will now begin getting longer by a minute every few days. Summer will be back before we know it. Wow, time just flies by, doesn't it?
