Wells Fargo has given me the opportunity to make deposits from my own office using their Commercial Electronic Office Portal/Desktop Deposit.  This process requires training.  Training they are doing via Microsoft Office Live Meeting.  I am their Customer, spending my time to learn a process that will also save them time.  I’m not sure I agree that the training is not worthy of human contact. 

The thermometer in my back yard read -20.6 when I left the house this morning.  I print and save a Net Worth Statement every quarter.  I’ve been afraid to look at my 12/31/08 Net Worth Statement, assuming it would be down.  Today I decided to face it.  To my surprise, and with MUCH gratitude, I find it’s actually up!  My 401k is down a lot, but my home value remains stable and I am able to consistently sock away a little bit every month.  I got my HTC TouchPro PocketPC/Phone to sync with my Exchange Server! 

TechnoGym Wave:  45 minutes, 8.5 miles, HR=140.

Early Mass.  Dinner with Steve’s kids.

We enjoyed the company of visiting Father Benny for dinner this evening.

Avery and I made ginger cookies for Hanna.  While Steve made turkey noodle soup, we were outside sledding.

I bought a piano!

Vanilla in the humidifier seems like a good idea, doesn’t it?  WRONG!  It smells like dirty gym clothes.  A rather emotionally intense afternoon and evening. 

“Eschew Obfuscation”.  The gym wasn’t nearly as busy as I expected this morning. 

As of this morning, my 2003 BMW 540i Wagon has 100,000 miles on it.  This is a first for me and I must admit it does cause me some anxiety.  I hate car drama with a passion.  I’m abnormally attached to this car and have been conscientious in regards to its care and maintenance.
