"Day Three"

Believe it or not the schools were closed again today!  This may have happened once in my entire life that I am aware of, and in that case, (when I was about 13-14) we had a major ongoing blizzard, with literally meters of snow over the time period.  While it was still cold this morning, I seen absolutely no good reason to have another day off.  My grandchildren were devastated!!  Yah Right! The schools in town were actually open despite the fact that the buses didn't run, but since every kid that goes to our country school is bused, it was shut up tight!

Anyway Colby was still busy learning as he finished his space shuttle.  Nice job Colb!

And to give you a sense of what's involved, you can see what it starts out as.  It is just a bunch of flat cutouts (16 in total) that you need to bend/twist/shape into the desired configuration, and than attach them together.  You need to use tweezers, and have a lot of patience.  Very cool really.

We have one more to do, which we're gonna tackle as a team.  That will be a challenge for us, as we both need to practice subduing our A type personalities.  As the "adult", it will I suppose fall to me to lead the way.  I'll let you know how I make out.

Tough bike workout today as I continue to focus on staying in the aero position.  I have a good feeling about this approach, just because how spent it leaves me feeling.  Despite barely doing any running recently, the bike workouts have been a killer.  And that's good!  I need to remember that the purpose of the workout is to tax the system, rather than to produce numbers.

And tomorrow I am definitely gonna try to head outside again.  The only decision will be whether to do it in the morning after I drop the kids, or to wait til later in the day.  It's still gonna be pretty cold first thing.  As to the kids, I'm dropping them off at school whether it's open or not!!

Coby had a challenging question for Roo and I today.  He said, "Where you would rather be right now?  Out running in this cold, or sitting inside in front of your computer?  The truth now…." he finished with.  I knew my answer right away.  Right now I would rather be warm and sitting in front of my computer, but in just 2 days I would no longer be enjoying it.  So even if it's hard, I go running so that I can enjoy doing other things for years.  Without exercise, the rest of my life deteriorates quickly.  He seemed to accept my answer.
