Putting my 2 cents for this movie. It was uplifting and eye openning at the same time.

Wrote Python scripts for Moneydance. This could become addicting...at least for a little while.

Walked in the Women's March on Austin yesterday with some friends and about 50K more folks. It was completely peaceful and amazingly positive. Came home and took a nap, fixed dinner (steak and noodle bowls), then watched Duke beat Miami in a really strange game - all Miami in the first half, all Duke in the 2nd.

Had to do a complete net worth recalculation, as the price of a Forever stamp went up by two cents (a whopping 4.25%). I have at least a couple of books of them in a drawer somewhere. Better than bonds!

Pretty good exercise.

Slept in till 7:30am, a true anomaly since entering my 50's a few years back . . .
Fussed around the house vacuuming and dusting to continue locating the unbelievable amount of dust putting in hardwood floors recently created. Looks fantastic, however, so worth all the pain to get here.
Met a GF for lunch, and she told me about a six week boot camp her fitness club is running. I love a good challenge, so I said 'Yes' and am looking forward to it. Afterward we wandered through Whole Foods, 'window shopping.' I ended up buying two containers of Italian gelato to take home. I do love that market, even while using it quite cautiously.
Home to meet a window coverings rep, then to the gym for an hour of cardio. Showered back at home, then prepared a terrific dinner - curried chicken, brown rice and a cucumber-tomato salad. Reading and electronic jigsaw puzzles until bed.

I'm right behind you. Enjoying 2 weeks of vacation at home right now then back to the project for a week and I'm done on the 10th. Sent out an email inviting our friends to a retirement dinner and looks like everyone will be able to make it. Also have a bottle of Asti in the fridge that DW and I will share in our private celebration.

Finally got my new hubcap (from Amazon) installed on my car. First attempt didn't work and I was afraid to force it, so I just waited til another day to see if my luck would change. Tried it again after a few days and it went right on! Now my car is back to its regular non-ghetto look. All right!

I told my boss yesterday that I was retiring in May. To celebrate, I burned a vacation day today setting up Sonos speakers throughout the house, including a Sonos amp and nice speakers in the back yard. I am very impressed with the sound. I also have a team of people at my house right now setting up a new new home theater system. The old Bose system couldn't handle the 4k tv, so out with the old and in with the new. My kids are going to be so excited when they get home from school!

Went to the march in DC with DW, 3DD's and one other. Awesome experience. Met marchers from FL,CA,NY,PA,VA,MN,NC,NY and some other places too, I guess. Watched Duke-Miami too, but I missed out on the steak.

My sister from GA was there too, but she didn't say anything about seeing you.
I didn't do anything today. DW made a chocolate cake. Yum.

Got my skis out and checked that all my gear is ready. Heading to Colorado this weekend to slide down some slopes. One of my favorite parts of the year!

I'm going to build a snow pull sled. It will be built on a set of old ski's reviews say they really are easy to pull. I do many outdoor activities in the winter and at times I need a sled. I know I could go buy one but I love to build things and in most cases the material is free. Lol It is called a smitty sled you can google it if you can to see what this sled looks like.
