Mostly every year, i dread February the most. absolutely nothing to look forward to but snow and cold with no end in sight. it gets depressing in February because you know that even though you've been through numerous piles-on of snows, and many slick slippery icy roads the past couple months.. you really don't get any sort of "spring" until summer hits in June. but not this year. Feb. '09 has been great! we've had many days above 32.. and even above 42! last night in Milwaukee, it was supposed to snow 4 to 8 inches.. but we didnt anything near that! it rained a little tiny bit, and today, we got a light dusting of snow. but hey, i'll take that over 8''! Heeeey! I've even been able to wear teeshirts to work instead of the long sleeved sweaters i ususally work in. and a couple of times, i did get a good whiff of spring. that should be good enough to hold me over until April. by April, of course i mean- off to sunny Florida to spend time with Amy, Jon, Megan, Greg, Grandma and Gradndpa McMannis, and lets not forget- "Kristine" whoo hoo!
also a day after birthday shout out to my Sister-In-Law-To-Be.. Megan! visit her awesome blog at http://www.sunshinemeg.blogspot.com/
we just switched our cable from Time Warner to AT&T U-Verse. and man.. this rocks! we have our DVR.. which you can watch from the living room, and both bedrooms. we can record 4 shows at a time! only 2 at a time in HD though. but that doesnt matter much when we're recording things like old CSI's and Friends and AFV because they aren't shot in HD cameras. so it works out for us. i was only really bummed when i realized we wouldnt have our on demand channels, like HBO on Demand and Showtime on Demand, but then i found the channel where they are all at! so now i am even happier than with TWC. AT&T even sends us $200 just for joining!
in other news, getting really excited for the Brewers season to start. nothing i love better than waking up in the morning, throwing on my Brewers gear, packing a cooler full of ice, hamburgers, beer brats, and beer and headed to Miller Park for tailgating and watching the Brew Crew hit some home runs and win the game. Roll out the Barrel.. We'll have a barrel of fun come April!

Thanks for the shout out! Can't wait for Florida either.
This is random, but Greg and I tried sushi this week. Hate seafood, but still want to try it. We had some crappy kind with crab - do you guys have any recommendations where we should start? Saw a kind on Throwdown with Bobby Flay with some spicy tuna that sounded okay, but we need help.
ps love your new design
