Cabin Fever!!!

You know that the state of affairs in your life isn't that great when in the past few days there has been a 50 degree weather swing to the milder side, and you still find yourself in +25 degree weather!

Thus, you may have noticed that January has been a fairly light month for posts, as compared to previous months on our blog...and this is for good reason...there really is nothing much to do when you're locked inside 24/7. While Dallas may not have been the outdoorsman's paradise, this long, albeit far from over midwest winter is killing us (we're starting to think literally, as we never feel like moving from the blankets after work).

At any rate, warmer weather seems to be headed in our direction, although not soon enough. Chris will be heading to Houston briefly for work later this week, and then late February will find Chris in San Diego for a meeting, followed by Emily joining him in Phoenix afterward to visit family, and hopefully a warm hike at Grand Canyon National Park.

We can't help but mention however that we await brighter days ahead given that Obama is as well poised a leader as we can imagine to hopefully reclaim this great country that has been pillaged and plundered during the past eight years.

At any rate, we figured we'd share a photo from an earlier visit to Lake Michigan that is better enjoyed in print than in person.
