new fuel

After a run on monday, the first in quite a while, Jerry offered me a smoothie. He made it with soy milk and it was great. So, like any good American consumer, I went to the store monday night and bought my own container. Now I have had my own soy milk smoothies two mornings in a row. This stuff is great. I have also been using it in my coffee for a change of pace.
I have not made such a change as a political type statement. I am not going vegan, nor do I think I am cut out to be a true health nut today, but, hopefully there will be more benefit than just a nice tasting smoothie each morning.


In other news:

I got two more days in on the snow this weekend during our youth trip to Snowshoe WV. It was pretty cold, but we had a great weekend skiing and hanging out with each other. This is the group of course. In my future, I still have one free pass I can use at Snowshoe and I won 2 free passes to Canaan Valley resort, which means at least 3 more days on the snow for me, or a day with a friend. So, if you are a friend, and would like to make the trek to Canaan with me one day in the next few weeks, let me know. I'll drive and provide the lift ticket, you just rent skis or a board and we'll have a day.

Finally:
Duke has lost 4 games in a row. The Blue Devil faithful like me are saddened at our inability to close the deal in the first 2 losses (or 3 depending on how you view the Carolina game in which we far out-played them the 35 minutes of the game, only to squander the last 5 minutes), and then getting completely outplayed on Sunday by the evil Maryland Terrapins. Hopefully we can pull an upset over BC tonight in Boston. Maybe K is singing the Augustana song: I think I'll go to Boston, I think I'll start a new life... We need a fresh start quickly. Go DUKE!!!
