They shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them

Finally getting around to paying attention to my blogs. You may notice that I’ve just put a new look on this blog using a theme that I found on 50 Beautiful Free WordPress Themes. I found that link from a tweep on Twitter. Are you following me on Twitter yet?

The theme at this point is right out of the box. I have some tweaks I want to do to it yet to make it more ‘me’ but I like the overall look for this blog. This blog is sort of a notebook of my life so the theme just called to me to put it to use.

Man, it is hard to believe that we’re almost half way through January already. On one hand that is a good thing, we’re that much closer to spring arriving. On the other hand, looks like this year is going to fly past as fast as 2008 did. Will the calendar just chill out a bit please!

Speaking of chill, it’s very clearly January in Canada, temps dipped into the subzero levels in both celsius and fahrenheit last night and is expected to stay there for a few days at least. I must be really showing my age when I think about the fact that I can remember the subzero (fahrenheit) temps were pretty normal when I was younger. Read the rest of this entry
