Team Lincoln - Stick to the Plan! (Page 6)

I hope I can, I was just checking it is going to be close!

11 more to go!

I hope you can do that outside!

No, it's going to be too cold If I ride outside I have to do 25 miles, inside is 1:45 on the drainer. And it's a brick. God help me.

Great job on the swim!  Just a drive-by to wish ya that.

Same old, same old....  Working on homework and still fighting this damn cold.... Figured Bailey's can burn out whatever is left of the cold.

So how was the skiing?

I didn't go.  I went to a hospital to visit a Marine that was injured in Iraq.  He is kind of impressive how he kept pushing through the pain to try and recover.  He instantly moved to the top of me list of heroes.

That was more important than skiing, you all are heroes in my eyes!

Off to work...

I did 2100m swimming this morning, definitely better than my swim at the beginning of the week, but still not quite where it should be.

I'm not sure yet how my weekend will shake out but I'm supposed to do a run and a bike.

Not me. We're saving it up for our anniversary next weekend.

My wife and I will be married 16 years in June, and we are militant about completely ignoring Valentine's day altogether.  When we first started dating, we would always have fights on V-day, so now it's kind of a running gag that we ignore it.  

 I swam twice today.  Once by myself and once with my son (which means endless breaststroke laps with a 45-lb kid on my back.  Beats the hell out of wearing paddles.) AND got in a trainer ride. I do believe I'll treat myself to a cocktail... 

*drive-by inquisitiveness*  We have a couple of sets - I have 3 sons.  They very rarely get used.  I don't see what all the hype is about them.  Maybe kids that have more creative skills make the most of them and enjoy them more.

I think the world has change a lot in the last 40 or so years and not necessarily for the better. What do your kids like?

Each have their likes.  #1, who's 12, likes Bionicals sometimes and sports -

#2, who's 9, is into video game stuff, like Nintendo DS, Wii, etc. (he's a videot, and if we didn't steer him to doing other things, he'd be on those 24/7), and #3, who's not 4 yet, likes just about anything right now, but seems drawn towards video games at times.

My son is now 17 and went through a Bionicals phase when he was around 12. He's now into video games. He's a straight A student so we don't really have to do any steering.

I played with them when I was a kid, my younger sister got them for a christmas one year I think. Thought about getting my boys them but they have so much... My brother got them the tinker toys, probably would have liked the lincoln logs better.  They love their legos.
