Gut Punched By The Vikings

Well, it was a tough pill to swallow last night with the Vikings loss. To see that many turnovers and still have a great chance to win the game, and then lose it was heartbreaking. I thought I was going to see some grown men cry last night. I have two buddies who are the biggest Vikings fans that I know, Tom Kingsley and Matt Quinn. Matt Quinn was one of the finalists for the Pioneer Press Brett Favre look-a-like contest and he also owned the Vikings in our Survivor league so he missed his chance for $1000 last night. Tough one.
So, today, January 25th, we are onto bigger and brighter things. We have the Olympics coming up, we have our health and we are getting closer to spring.
It sures doesn't feel like spring though with snow falling today in MN and cold weather coming.
We enjoyed our weekend in DL and look forward to getting up there again in February for more brace work. I am going to start the countdown for brace removal starting today, we are 9 weeks from completion. I am going back to DL on Monday Feb 15th (3 weeks from today) and moving into the last stage that day. I will be in the last stage for 6 weeks, so hence 9 weeks left. It has been 15 months that I have had them on, now just a little over 2 months left. I can't wait.
We went to a Vikings party last night at Matt and Lindsay Quinn's. It was a good time, great food and a roller coaster of emotions.
We are looking forward to a quiet week to finish off the month of January. Stay warm and safe with the icy roads and snow.
