New Year's Eve was a perfect day for a little sailing on Lake Union. Kevin came over to help figure out the problem with the bilge pump float switch on Penelope. After determining that the switch had failed we decided to sail. It was a clear, beautiful afternoon. Pictures at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/downtheyforgot.

I've been off of work long enough that I'm itching to get back. Oi.

Oh, I'm not big on resolutions but here are two things I want to be better at this year:

1. Run 10 miles a week.
2. Saturday sailboat races on Puget Sound.

I used to easily knock off 10 miles a week in the past but after a couple injuries and some general laziness I've gotten off track. As for the Saturday races, this should be easier to do, just requires getting up EARLY on Saturday mornings to get the boat through the locks. Also requires springing for a set of racing sails.

Happy New Year!
