Got Katy a new stereo for the car with an aux jack. Worst part was putting the after market cage together. Car was easy to rip apart and put back together.

Ban On Insider Trading By Lawmakers

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/02/09/146644196/ban-on-insider-trading-by-lawmakers-passes-house-heads-to-obamas-desk?sc=17&f=1001

No doubt Congress will tout their "productiveness" on this issue.  

Shouldn't Congress have to follow the rules that are set forth for government employees?  The answer, as always, is no.  They set one set of rules for them and one set for the plebeians.

I have to say I am surprised they passed it.  However, note the exclusion of family members fin the ban.  That way they can pass a law that is aesthetically pleasing while being easily able to circumvent it.

When the urge for destruction hits

Women are ill prepared for the shock

Goals met . . . mostly

What a year. Made my initial biking goal of 1500 miles in the summer, then revised the goal to 1800 miles. Fell about 25 miles short because of an untimely back injury just before the end of the year, but I'll let that slide. As for running, was on pace to meet the 600 mile goal when I started at the Rock. Then enter Dave Grant, running partner, and I blew the goal out of the water and ended up about 50 miles over.

Also shaved a total of 15 lbs this year. For 2012, the goals will be as follows:

Biking: 2000 miles (approximately the distance from home to Salt Lake City, UT)
Running: 750 miles (approximately the distance from home to Milwaukee, WI)
Swimming: 50 miles (approximately the distance from home to Quantico)

Weight loss: another 15 lbs
