we are 34 days into 2oo6. have you kept up with your "i'm going to lose ____ pounds this year" resolution? has it been easy? hard? fell off the wagon january 2nd? superbowl xl is this weekend, so there is going to be a lot of diet busters and monday starters.

me? i'm trying to get back in shape and tone for wakeboarding/summer. plus, i just feel better. i know, i know...junkfood tastes so good. so does candy, cookies, ice cream, soda (yeah, i said soda) and other gut builders. take it all in stride. in moderation. spring is right around the corner, so i plan on doing a lot more walking and bike riding (and yardwork: arbor building (for grapes), garden extending and other odds and ends. hauling gravel and dirt. putting in a water system for the backyard).

c'mon spring, c'mon. . .
