The View From Here

While I have lots of other things I could blog about, just wanted to share with you the view from my new office. I just got moved to a new space yesterday, and it has a window overlooking the lake across the road. And that mound of snow you see? That is an actual place to ski. No joke. Chair lifts and everything. I've even heard someone refer to it as a mountain. Are you kidding me? A mountain? These people are precious.

And, I realize this view isn't the Olympics or Cascades, but cute nonetheless. There is even a guy out on the lake doing what appears to be ice fishing right now. Not sure that it's super wise to be out there given it's getting up to 40 degrees today and things are softening up a bit, but more power to him, I guess. If I see him fall through, I'll be sure to call 911.

Oh, and I now also sit three doors down from an apparently famous hockey person: Brian Lawton. He seems quite nice and introduced himself yesterday. Brian works for one of my company's sister companies called Octagon Hockey, and they are all agents for NHL players. Too bad I don't know anything about hockey to be super impressed when their clients come walking in. Oh, well. Should be fun nonetheless.

We Have Snow, People

We will have a white Christmas in Minneapolis this year. While this may seem like a given, it actually isn't. Apparently the past two Christmases have been snow-free, which sounds depressing to me. If one lives in a place where it snows, then it should be required that there is snow for Christmas. Of course, now people are concerned that this is going to be a looooong winter since the snow has already begun. We'll see how everything shakes out!

I think we have about 5 inches of snow on the ground right now -- I'll see about getting a couple of photos put up tomorrow. Both Sully and the cats were wondering what that stuff was falling out of the sky while they looked out the window today. Once it gets a little warmer, we'll see about getting Sully out to sit in the snow a bit. And we need to get him some boots or footwear of some kind -- the kiddo still only wears socks. Gabe and I know what we'll be getting Sully for his birthday.
