another snow day

Yeehaw. We got about 6 inches of the lightest, driest powdery snow today. Schools were closed, and the kids had a fun day off, hanging out with Mom. Kim had to cancel a Mary Kay event tonight, and I had to call off my guitar class for today. Kim put her foot down and refused to let me try the snowblower tonight! Levi was a little less sympathetic--"Don't cut off any other fingers!"

I have decided to wait on the knee surgery. I've been running 5 miles each day, and my knee has felt pretty good for the past 4 days. I want to be fully mobile when Levi and I go to the DR (March 8), so I think I'll see how the knee does for another month or so.

My buddy Andy cemented his place in my Hall of Fame today. A few years back when I had my first knee surgery, we got a big snow. Andy showed up (with buddies Jonathan and Chris) and shoveled my driveway. Tonight, just as I was gearing up to go shovel the fresh snow, I heard a snowblower in the front of the house. There's Andy, snowblower throwing snow everywhere...What a true friend. He thought that I had surgery today, and knew that I'd need some help. He's the real deal.
