I worked out at the fitness center this morning. It was one of the biggest crowds I've seen since I joined. Maybe some people are serious about their New Year's resolutions. I decided a lot of the people (both men and women) who go to fitness centers do so to show off their tattoos.

New rules and regulations I would like to see:
1. Every fast food chain which serves cold drinks must have lemonade as an option.
2. All cars have the gas cap on the same side-either driver or passenger (I prefer driver).

Tried "video chatting" with the son and D-I-L plus their dog last night. This is the second time. They get to see the grandtwins and we them and it's a more personal way to communicate. I guess it's the "next best thing to being there."

The mother of the grandtwins informs me they probably won't be toilet-training prodigies.

Interesting family fact: My wife spotted this one.
She and her Minnesota brother each have two children. The elder sibling of the each family resides in the Denver, Colorado, metro area about 15 minutes apart. Each became a parent in 2010.
The younger sibling in each family resides in the Twin Cities also about 15 minutes apart.

Aloha, Julie.

What I would like to see in 2011-part one-
1.Politicians who vote the issue rather than the party.
2. Cast out all members of the US Congress who have been in office over 18 years.
3. The Tea Party die a swift death. Sarah who?

Appropriate bumper sticker:
"My dog is smarter than your politician."
