On painting: Look for solutions outside the apparent problem area. Addressing a peripheral issue affects the original problem.

Saved a painting I'd ruined by doing something riskier and bolder than I'd normally try. A lesson there..

From 11 yr. old daughter; "Living with you is better than having cable. You're funnier, and there are no commercials."

Putting sign in yard for sake of my tidy neighbors: MOWER IN SHOP, 1 WEEK OVERDUE. WILL CUT GRASS ASAP.

Feel like I'm in the driver's seat of a great car but trying to start it with the house key.

Daughter (10) remarks at end of Chariots Of Fire; "So this is why this is the official music for running in slow motion."

Friend says I'm on the cusp.. Feels more like I'm on the edge. Might both be right.

Fresh tracks in snow between tree / flat squirrel on driveway suggest he hopped in front of my tire while I backed in at 1 mph. Proly S.A.D.

9 hr. round trip today to watch my kid swim for 6 min. The weird part is I'd happily do it again and hope I only watch her for 5.75 min.

Neighbors just sent Grandpa shuffling out the door, to test how slick the ice is I guess..

Back to blogging more regularly and daily hits rose soon after. Still unclear who says what to whom that makes this happen.

I've been told that I've handled loss and difficulty very well. I'd like to expand my repertoire to include handling things going well.

Windchill index = a term invented by southern sissies. True Minnesotans laugh at wind + cold. Next winter: top and doors off Jeep.

The dog turd of 2009 is still on my shoe, staining the fresh carpet of 2010. My solution; keep walking around. Eventually it will go away.

Shallow grave ready for 2009. Leaning on my shovel, tapping my foot as I watch the clock.

Snowshoes = a hoop of aluminum, some plastic / rubber, = $200? China needs some of this action. Sell @ 200% over cost = 30 bucks.

Next 3 days: Wintry mix, rain, then snow. Gonna be a mess..
