The wind is howling. Hurricane force winds cancelled my noon-time running plans. Better safe than blown into an oncoming tram.  I will do a body-weight workout tonight and maybe even row - promise. I'm blogging in advance so I can call it done.

I started reading a new book  - Storm Front, the first in the Dresden files series. I'm enchanted.

I wanted to sleep later this morning. I didn't row, since I planned to go to the gym and then run later. I rowed and lifted (for an hour). The run was rained out after my running buddy ditched me to run an errand and then the weather turned. Tomorrow.

I got these bulbs in the fall and following directions, I've kept them in a closet. When I went to water them today, I found this - making me think.

Our biological imperative is to bloom.

I rowed intervals this morning for about 20 minutes. I brought my gym bag to work, but so far haven't felt inclined to go lift. There's always tomorrow. Likewise with swim practice tonight. The return to work after vacation may be enough today. And Tuesday night swimming (9:45 PM to 10:45 PM)  means I get to bed late and "over-spend" what belongs to Wednesday. So I might just go to bed early tonight.

Grumble.

Best way to start the new year is to dive into the North Sea with 30 or 40 thousand other people.   Cold and windy. And lots of fun. Janathon hath begun.
