Stretch

Winter still has it's ugly grip on us here. We've had a decent week though. No snow and mild temps. I've seen -21 degrees and 42 degrees in the past few weeks. Again, Al Gore is a jackass.

Angie and I are going to take another short trip to visit her parents in Florida in February. We went last year and it was a perfect trip. Will be nice to get away from winter and children. I swear I've aged a week every day this winter.

Belated kudos to the Iowa Hawkeyes for their big Orange Bowl victory and overall great season. It will be a lot of fun to watch them again next year. They should have a very solid team and all the big games will be played at home. Go Hawks!

I've found out recently that I have high blood pressure. I've been on a medication for it. After a doctor visit a few weeks ago, it's been increased from 10mg to 20mg. They say stress has a lot to do with it. I think my daughters are trying to kill me.

I also found out that I have "borderline high" cholesterol. I take full responsibility for that. I like bacon & eggs too much I guess. The doctor said I can either take medication for it, or try to get it down with diet and excersize. I chose the latter. We'll see how it goes in three months.

Peace-
Matt
