On the north shore for the (non)moonrise over Split Rock Lighthouse.  Too cloudy for the moon, but we still had a fun time at the lake.

New lens!  Got myself an 85mm f1.8 and I'm stoked.  I can't wait to play with it.

I know I've mentioned that it's really cold.  Several times.  In a row.  But it is, in fact, really cold.  And I have to work outside in all types of weather so I contend with the cold on a regular basis.  Today I did live shots at 5, 6 and 10, all outside.  Along with the sweater, thin coat and thick coat, hat, hood and gloves I wore, I also had on my long johns, jeans and fleece lined wind pants.

Playing with long exposures on the Stone Arch Bridge.  Shot two live shots here to talk about the cold to the people of LA.

Playing "horse" with Joey, my nephew. I got an "H" and he says, "you should have gotten an 'F' for fail." So, yes, I have been trash talked by a six year old.

High of -3 (air temp, that's without the wind chill).  I love Minnesota.

It's cold in Minnesota

(How cold is it?)

It's so cold our statues wear sweaters...

For reals.  They do.  Hrbek is much more excited about the weather than I am.

Post holiday 'Vest'ivus party at the Pelissero's.  Doug and I sport a similar style of vest.

The first long run of my training season.  That half marathon in May won't run itself, neither will the marathon in October.  Let's do this.

You know what's intimidating?  Two babies crying at the same time.  Any mother of multiples deserves an award.

Carry's moving to Dallas.  I'm excited for her, but bummed for us.  She's awesome and does the work of five people all on her own.

I'm a hockey person but this year's Gopher basketball team is real good.  And yes, I'm drinking coffee at the bar.  I'm lame sometimes.

My Gophers have a real deal basketball team this year.  I made a hat.  The former did not precipitate the latter.

Joe's a big ND fan.  He recruited his Minnesota friends to watch the big game with him tonight.  Unfortunately for him, his team got trounced.

Went home sick.  Started the day okay, but went downhill as soon as I got active.  Petey forced me to go home and he was right.  I spent the night eating crackers and drinking sprite.

Went to work today.  I turned down an invitation to karaoke because I still don't feel well.  I just wanted to go home after work, but the lack of food situation forced me to make a grocery run.  Grocery shopping at 11pm is fantastic.  I get in and out so fast.

Snowshoes

First test of my new snowshoes!  I spent an hour in the woods four miles from my house.  One of the many reasons I love Minneapolis; there are woods within sight of the downtown skyline.
