First Day of 2018

It is a cold day... 21 degrees at 9:00am this morning. Picked up Nate at King Tiger Lock-In and he had an awesome time. Thank you King Tiger for hosting. He came home and crashed in bed. Busy morning already. Came home to a house of teenagers (daughter(s) friends). I also have two daughters (Kara and Lexi). Kara is 18 and home from college (University of South Carolina) and Lexi is 16 (Junior in high school -- Lincoln Charter). They both had friends over. My wife and I made breakfast for about 15 teenagers. They ate a bunch, but we had a bunch left over, so we packed it up and I took the left overs down to the Presbyterian/Novant Emergency Room (ER) where my wife works (off exit 23 on 77). We cleaned up from breakfast, saw the group of teenagers off, and started to get the house back in order. Then our real day starts with daily exercises and some house work. One more day of vacation and then back to the real world. I hope everyone enjoys their first day of the year.

First day of a new year
