The January Blahs

Spokane is not exactly the place to be in January, and this year is no different. We have already had record amounts of snow, flooding and unbelievably five snow days. However, the last week there has been a grey fog looming around depressing some of the most optimistic Spokanites. With the fog comes stale air. The sun burned through the fog for a moment this afternoon and I decided to go for a run. It could be completely psychological, but my lungs burn after breathing that nasty air. I think I will be sticking to the gym until better, warmer air moves in.

For interested parties, the young man who started college in September is now in his second quarter. He successfully completed one five credit class, and is now taking 15 credits like it is no big thing. I am impressed.
