Frozen Pipe Dreams

The next couple of weeks are going to be a little crazy.

A party and a movie last night and some frozen water pipes and I'm already tired. And maybe getting sick. I got up in the middle of the night to check if the pipes had burst and the basement was flooding. Probably that was just me being paranoid. But it led to fitful sleeping and me waking up feeling decidedly less healthy than the night before.

Tonight we have a formal inaugural ball. Tomorrow is the AFC Championship game and a potluck at our house.

No work on Monday or Tuesday and a couple extra million people coming in to town to see the inauguration. It's going to be cold, crowded, and crazy. And I probably won't be able to see much of anything, but I'll be taking the camera to document the craziness, since I certainly won't be able to document the ceremony.

Three days of work, the season premiere of Lost, and then I'm flying to Miami for a half marathon with my sister. Here's hoping I survive 13.1 miles in heat and humidity I haven't seen in months.

Kelly and I will be running as part of "Team World Vision"... and if you're feeling inspired, you can sponsor us (and support the livelihood and health of people in the 2/3rds world) here:

I'll check back in a couple of weeks just so you all know I've survived the craziness. If I survive the craziness that is.
