2009 has come and is now gone, but 2010 is has come and is not gone, for about 361 days it'll be on your desktop calendar. My holidays were OK - I was unable to travel home due to an incident I had that left me not tough and ruthless, but rough and toothless...that's right, I knocked out my two front teeth, reviving lyrics to "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth..." and ensuring a week of uncomfortable time on the couch. I did manage to recover in 3 or 4 days and was able to spend some time afield in search of waterfowl.
I had friends visit me to ensure that I had not gone insane and family called often to make sure that I would indeed come home at some point.
Over the holidays, college football season renewed it's bowl season. There were lots of exciting bowl games to keep me entertained throughout my teethaches. Auburn squared off with Northwestern in what turned out to be the thriller of the bowl season. Auburn won, several times in fact, but ridiculous penalties nullified every "premature" ending. Nevertheless, Auburn pulled out the victory in overtime.
This week, the Eastern 4-H Center will be hosting the "ECU Presidents Retreat"...we certainly hope they are bale to enjoy the frigid temperatures. Every creek in the area has frozen up right out to the big water, which pushes all of the fish and birds into the bigger rivers and sounds. Frigid temps appear to be holding tight for a couple of weeks and word has it that the Albemarle could be frozen up to a half mile out!
Enjoy the day...
