'Cause it's cooooold out there today!!
It's cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
Not hardly. So the big question on everybody's lips.
On their chapped lips
Their chapped lips is, does Phil feel lucky? Taipei-tawny Phil, thats right wood chuck chuckers its.....
GROUNDHOG DAY!!!!!
So here in Taiwan, I think the Groundhog didn't see his shadow which means Chinese New Year is over. Or something like that. Since it's back up in the 70s here, I think Winter is OVER for me - kind of was as soon as I left Chicago last month. Yeah, I'm going to rub it in some more....
A great weekend for sport finals. I watched Nadal in not one, but TWO five set marathon matches for the Australian Open title. What an amazing athlete. In fact, name one other sport that requires the endurance and physical skill that is required in tennis? 5 hour match with a 90 second "break" every other point. And it's an individual sport meaning you can't take a night off, or can't sit down at the end of the period and let a backup play. If you took the time to watch Nadal run down some of those shots, I hope you'd agree the physical demand required of the top tennis players right now..... amazing.
And the Super Bowl. Not a bad game!! We had it on in a conference room while at work - even had some great chicken wings delivered during the 4th quarter (was 11am Monday morning by then)... sadly the office rules prevented me from bringing in beer so it was a sober Super Bowl. Thank heavens for the Slingbox contraption.
Meet my new roommate for the week. Since some friends are in the Philippines for the week, I am playing "uncle Adam" but this time to a Quaker Parrot. No, Quaker Parrots don't eat oatmeal or Captain Crunch (I've tested this theory already) - but they make an interesting house guest so far.... Say hello to "Olive". She doesn't talk quite yet, but we're working on it every day. so far I've had her for about 24 hours and she only ventures to the top of her cage, then back in it - that's all.
