It's coooold!

Okay. It's not that cold. But it's colder than normal out here. We've got the heating on and I'm still in a big sweater and wearing sheepskin lined slippers.
We're going ahead with the purchase of the new house even though we haven't sold ours yet. Bit of a gamble, but we don't want to pass up the opportunity. So we might have a couple of mortgages running for a while . . .
We're off to Hawaii on Saturday for our annual break, but the timing couldn't be much worse. When we get back, I'll have about 5 hours in the house before I leave for a week long trip to New York and the day I get back is the day we're supposed to close escrow on the new house.
I'm going to be coaching for Team in Training next year - I finally get to "give back" to the program after a two year break. I will be head coach for the "America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride" program culminating in a fabulous ride around Lake Tahoe in early June. I'd better get out and ride more - I have some weight to lose, and I need to get fit!

Back to Life . . . .

So things are back to normal. We've not sold our house yet, but no matter. If we stay, we're going to get a hot tub in the yard, and a bar/games area in our gallery upstairs. If we go, we have a lot to do in a short space of time - I'll be out of town for two and a half weeks between now and Christmas so if we do sell it'll be a busy time when I'm here.
Got another phone last week - a great deal on ebay - so I have a usable combined phone/pda. I got it to use for work, so my V525 is for personal use. As a result of the Cingular/AT&T merger (or takeover) I will be able to combine my accounts (I have one phone on each network) and drop my expenses a little. At least that's the plan. I've seen the latest Blackberry 7000 series that T-Mobile are selling and I may have to switch . . . . .

The election is over!

Great! Now we can get back to regular ads on the TV. I'm amazed GWB got re-elected but then again I was amazed when he won in 2000 . . . . .
Enough of that.
