One Hour of Cardboard
This wasn’t a record, but pretty close. That’s one hour of cutting and tying into bundles.
And, even though we had some warm days, my snow shelf is mostly intact still.
Huge Snowman
Some people in our neighborhood build a huge snowman in the park every winter. Mazie stood next to it for scale. The nose is a traffic cone. Awesome!
You can see this for yourself if you drive down Penn Ave at night and look east as you cross over Minnehaha Creek. They light it up at night so it stands out really well. I’m going to go and photograph it some evening.
The Mountain Boy Sleds I ordered have arrived. The sled pads are attached and ready to rocket down the sledding hill this weekend.
TRON: Legacy
We saw the new TRON movie tonight as part of my birthday fun. In short, it was great.
Happy Birthday: MacBook Air

I’m writing this blog post on my super light, super fast, and super tiny 11" MacBook Air. Thanks to Tammy, my Mom & Kurt, and my sister Alona I got a really nice surprise for my birthday.
I was very impressed with this laptop when I first saw one and I had thought of all the times when an Air would be so nice to have. Notably, you couldn’t have a better bus laptop or blogging and surfing on the couch.
I’ll be installing software for a while now. 🙂
Tyler helped Dad unload the dishwasher this morning. Chase’s lack on an opposable thumb made him much less helpful.
