So Tess still hasn't experienced the winter we've been preparing her for this year! Kunming's weather was like San Francisco and Guangzhou's weather was even warmer. Mamaroneck, as well, has been unseasonably warm. Yesterday, January 6, 2007 we set a record with a 70 degree high! Today was a bit cooler, but still warm.
Global warming aside, it's been great to be outside. Today we took advantage of the weather and enjoyed an outdoor activity that we all love-- hiking! All of us, including Tess and Baxter, went for a hike in Saxon Woods. It was muddy and wet so Baxter loved the hike.
Yesterday Mitch and I spent the afternoon at the Rock Gym in New Rochelle, an indoor rock climbing gym. While Mitch spent his time climbing with a staff member, I prepared for a test so that I could belay for Mitch anytime we want to go. Yesterday was a great day to golf, but I simply ran out of time.
After our hike today we treated Tess to her first "puppy" from Walter's Hot Dogs. You know what, she likes hot dogs! We went home and did some chores and watched the Patriots/Jets game.
The first half was hard fought, but then we put the Brady jersey on Tess and the Pats began to turn it on and the outcome was never in doubt after the Brady jersey. Thanks for the good karma, Mike Mitchell! It's funny, when Mitch was a baby, he had a Bledsoe jersey--but like Bledsoe, Mitch always puked while wearing it! The Brady jersey is a different animal!
I am also attaching a picture of Mitch from last week on the roof of our house...he was brave enough to go up the ladder and get Baxter's toy off the roof.
Well Patriots Chargers was my worst case scenario...I have to say on Sunday i was a temporary fan of gang green, but alas it was not to be. Josephine and I will be there on Sunday, look for us on TV, in the end zone 3 rows from the top.
