Too bad SoulSlam is too crazed about baseball. This would make an awesome header!!!

A

My A is working now. So I am a spelling chAmp.

Snow. Finally.

First, the A on my keybord is a little kerflooey. In cse I mis-spell some words.

We got a blizzrd. Full 10-12 inches of snow in our prts of North J. Better than the folks in NE nd LI.

Got a circle drivewy around me house. It's big. So....when the belt on my snowthrower beast is in NG shape, it was manual shovels for all Men of the House of SoulSlam. Also had to do my parents drivewy. About 4.5 hours of fun. I still can't get warm.

The Pizza Dream

Been on a D-I-E-T for about 5 weeks. Based on caloric intake. I don't get silly about the types of calories or foods, just based on reducing calories. So far I've shed 15 lbs. Tough in the winter to stay active after work though. I have to drive the metabolic demon up - to rev the weight loss.

Anyway, during this time I have basically taken to eating a ton of salad, soup and egg whites. I did go off the rails a little on SB Sunday with some awesome sausage and peppers:

SoulSlam's BEST EVER Sausage & Peppers

So back to our story...a couple of things I have pretty much abandoned are burgers and pizza. I think in five weeks I've had a single slice. So last night (more like this morning) I had a dream where I ate 10(!) slices!!! All different. There was Sicilian, some fancy types like vodka sauce (and I don't particularly like vodka sauce), toppings like pepperoni and meatballs, and your plain old "slice". I ate and ate. At the end of the dream I realized I had consumed about 3 days worth of calories. I was jarred awake! All a dream.

It was tasty though. I press on.

Avenged

Only loss was avenged last night. Win by a score of 40-37. If we played some disciplined D maybe we have a bigger margin.

Few days off, then back at it over weekend.

2/3

Of the season complete. Win against Wayne B&G today. They gave us a good game though...

So right now we sit at 19-1 and play the only team to beat us to date tomorrow evening at home.

Gotta finish strong.

Groundhogs

They all did not see their shadow, which apparently means spring is soon. Oh boy.

Saturday 5PM...my 6th grade hoops team goes for W #18 in about 90 minutes, against one loss. We play the team that handed us a loss on Monday night, so some hardcourt payback is our goal.

Spring tryouts for OSSS for his HS team are in 27 days. We hit the cages today to get some quality swings in. Sweet.

YSSS and SoulSlam are on diets. Mine is in week #5, I've lost a little over 15 lbs. YSSS is in week #1 and he's down about 4 already. He's a demon!

It's cold. Too cold.

Might be a snow day on Sunday.

A-Rod is in deep. Way deep.

I had a day off yesterday. Didn't feel like it.
