3 Good Things
1) I had a 7 yr old girl come in for her first exam. Before she came in she found a picture of a cat, with glasses on, in a coloring book. Well, she colored the picture and brought it in for me.
2) Was able to get up, before work, and get my run done. It was a brisk 29 degrees outside. Thankfully there was no wind.
3) Hired a new employee.

February 26

I was not planning on this being a recovery day. I was planning on making up a swim that I missed because of the Park City trip. Buuuuut, my cousin was in town and the only time he had to get together was this evening.

3 Good Things
1) There were no "fires" to put out after my time away from the office.
2) Got together with my cousin whom I had not seen in about 3 yrs.
3) Got some new bike shorts in today. Based on davidb's review of the Desoto 400 milers, I had to try a pair.

Traveling back to Dallas

February 23

Sport
  • Skiing
  • 4h 00m
Saw Tony Romo, in the lift line, at Park City. He was snowboarding with some buddies. It looked like this was his first time snowboarding. He took a serious face plant just on the "easy way down" green run. He was wearing a full face mask with dark goggles but I recognized him when he took off the goggles and pulled the face mask below his chin. Wonder what his contract says about getting injured while snowboarding?
