It's 2009

Heehee, Kabatz...

So the last time I posted, I was pretty tired and pissed about life. After that, travels only got worse. I will spare the grim details, but I thought it was a good lesson. You don't know how many lemons life might give you in a row, and turning sour half-way through is only going to prolong the agony. Anyway, I did make it home for Christmas (barely) and it was nice to be at home.

Since getting back to the County, life has been pretty nice. I finally got all the pieces for my new bed, and put that together. I've been sleeping like a baby since then. It's crazy how much easier life is after a good sleep.

I also got a slew of new spices and cooking tools for Xmas, so I've been fooling around with those. Cooking is fun! If any of you ever make it up here, you'll be in for a treat.

While at home, I skied in the local New Years Relay race, and managed to win my leg despite the altitude. Last weekend, I skied in a little community race up here in Maine. It was pretty fun, and I won without much trouble. My racing ego is pretty big right now. I've also got a lot of street cred with my athletes. I guess, what I'm saying is that I'm a happy camper right now, and I hope you all are too.
