Happy New Year! Let's Go 2022!

We have high hopes.   And as we say to every new year, try to be better than your predecessor.   What a cruel thing to say to a baby that has just been born.... eyes barely open and you are already telling him to try not to suck.  But, so is life.  

We spent the day in Clinton, Iowa.   Running with the Zakoseks along the river.   Cheryl and Mike ran while Pam and I tried not to slip and fall on the ice with the bikes.   Overall, it is a pretty trail and will probably be more fun in the non-snow months, when patches of ice are less frequent.  

We ended up spending the rest of 2021 at their house, drinking beer, sampling fine foods and putting puzzles together. Too bad I have no pics of the event, because I had left  my phone in my car.  Yeah!   Rather than get up at the crack of dawn this morning, and traveling to Madison for the New Year's Day Dash....  Cheryl and Mike hit the trail for a "virtual" 10K.   Which was probably the right thing to do in the end. 

Because,   2022 started off with the first snow storm of the season.   And we had to drive back in it.  Luckily,  we had a Subaru, so things were not too treacherous.  As I'm writing this, the snow continues to fall and the wind continues to howl outside.  I already shoveled the sidewalk, only to have it completely fill in again.  Best to wait til the Storm is over. 

In the mean time...  2022 has arrived.  Happy New Year everyone.    256.

That snow missed us but I heard from folks further south that it was wicked. Such is the weather in the winter!
Glad you made it home safely and had a good time too!
