From the getting-a-life department, yesterday i made a valiant effort to go ski. But the winter storm was still up in the mountains, and when I passed 6 stuck cars and a stuck bus, and started fishtailing myself on the narrow highway, I decided discretion was the better part of valor and decided to try again another time (today I found out yesterday the mountain got 15" of the fresh stuff).

Instead I went to Costco and stocked up. $215 later and I don't think I'll need to go grocery shopping for a while - which makes me either a super savvy shopper or a complete moron.

Today I'm putting away the Christmas stuff, which is also another phase in "Operation Reclaim the Garage." Ironically enough it's also the first day there's any snow accumulation down here on the island (I remember growing up on the other side of the state that it almost NEVER snowed in the Sound, now it does a few times a winter...).

Tomorrow I'm back in the gym and on the treadmill, and since it's a day off I may see if the roads will let me get up to the mountain.
