Hi everyone, and Happy Birthday Freya!!
I'm back from Tampa, and heading out tomorrow for the traditional ski jump weekend in Westby with the Blatz drinkin' high school & college crowd. Last year we didn't go because they had no snow, but this year should be a great competition, and maybe we'll even see a new hill record broken! I really love this weekend--ski jumping is just amazing to watch live and in person, and the athletes here come in from around the world, so this is not amateur hour.
Next week DaimlerChrysler is treating me to an overnight trip to the Toronto Auto Show for the introduction of the same truck they brought me to Stuttgart to see last February, and to Detroit to see in December... I am milking this product intro for all it's worth!
The big news this week is in the picture. Domino was playing tackle football... uh, inside, at the local evangelical Christian megachurch, during the Superbowl halftime. I'll let her explain all that, because it's just too weird for me to even contemplate. Anyway, she got tackled on a hard floor and broke the lowest knuckle on her right pinkie. She's in pain, can barely write (but, miraculously, can still chat online to beat the band), and she will have to be in the splint for a month. So tonight we were filling in college & scholarship application forms, with me writing and her dictating (talk about milking things...)
She has been accepted to UW-Madison and has to resubmit some personal information before she hears from Vassar, but she has been nominated for a full-boat scholarship to a Wisconsin state school so she'll definitely have something to fall back on, I think.
Love to all, and we hope you're all staying toasty warm!
Mark
