Then in January, I was on the road a lot and ate a lot of fast food, and comforted myself more than I should have with food.    I didn&#8217;t exercise over the holidays, and all told, I&#8217;ve gained back two or three pounds and a point of body fat over the course of the month.  I want to get back on the metaphorical horse, but it&#8217;s so freakin&#8217; cold outside.  I love the snow, I hate the cold.  Maybe I&#8217;ll NetFlix some Firm DVDs.

He works a lot on weekends.  Poor guy.  I complain about exercising in the cold, but he&#8217;s been walking a mile up to the Lynx station and taking the train into work to get a little exercise and also save money and wear and tear on his car.  Whatta guy.<\/p>\n<p>At right: just before I left for Richmond the other day, I took this picture of Steve, Emily, and the Groovy Girl dolls.  He&#8217;s a good dad.<\/p>\n<p>I realized last night that I&#8217;d charted the full-size Charlie Brown stripe wrong, so I need to go back and redo it.  Fortunately I haven&#8217;t actually knit the stripe, just charted it with paper and pencil.  I know there&#8217;s software that&#8217;ll do it, but I&#8217;m on a Mac, I don&#8217;t know that there&#8217;s something out there for me.<\/p>\n<p>Still kind of sleepy, having gotten to bed late last night.
