I think iced coffee with a little bit of agave nectar is going to be an acceptable alternative to Diet Coke.  I decided to be a wimp about today’s snow storm and left my office after lunch to work from home in the afternoon.  Someone cashed a forged business check at Walmart.  Wells Fargo’s fraud department caught it because the check number was out of sequence and returned it unpaid to Walmart.  I still have the hassle of closing that account, reordering checks, etc.  This is my first check fraud experience in my 35+ year career!

Hello Lent, good bye Diet Coke

TechnoGym Wave:  45 minutes, 9.0 miles, HR=139.

Early Mass.  I just agreed to play the piano for a Mass on March 4.  Me.  My own family hasn’t heard me play the piano.  In an effort toward personal growth, every year I try to do something that scares me.  This is it!

The Grandfather clock has been repaired.  The real clock has a much more civilized tone than the computer one did.  TechnoGym Wave:  60 minutes, 13.62 miles, HR=128.

Early Mass.  East on the LuceLine:  75 minutes, 4.01 miles, 3.2 mph, HR=114.

Avery and I made Red Velvet Cake.  One of my best efforts!  Cake in hand, we had dinner with Soren and his family.

I think 2009 may be the year of the Tomato.  Or maybe the Potato.  Someone wants to look at my house.  Well, not my house really, they’ll tear it down.  It’s the site they’re interested in.  Today the very thought makes me ill.

Vicks VapoRub on my feet overnight wasn’t the miracle cure I had hoped for.

Early Mass.  West on the LuceLine:  61 minutes, 3.47 miles, 3.4 mph, HR=128.  My Mom’s Sister says Vicks VapoRub on my feet while I sleep will cure my cold.  Since I’m out of Irish Whiskey, I guess I’ll try it.
