The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Sometimes, after going through old emails both personal and from a previous job, you feel the need to drink wine.  Today, I am thankful for Boxed Wine.  Of course, this will make the 28-day cycling challenge hurt later, but I will be riding the trainer anyway.

It is Super Bowl time!  We enjoyed the game with great friends, food, good beer, and a New England Patriots loss!  Bring on the funny, Super Bowl memes!

It was picture day for Upward Cheer and Basketball.  I snuck some pictures of my own, but I had the flash off on my camera so I would not affect the lighting for the photographer.  Subsequently, the lighting is not the best for my pictures, but I still got a few good ones.  I am looking forward to seeing the photographer’s pictures.

Look what I found at Aldi today…  I have never met a stout that I didn’t like.  I have had the Oatmeal Stout before, but not the other three.  I am looking forward to trying the rest!

Andy decided to throw a little challenge out there for me for the month of February.  At first, I thought he was nuts and I told him so, but, after some thought, I decided to accept.  For every day in February – even if I can only squeeze in 30 minutes – I will be on a bike.  It could be the trainer or outside.  Keep in mind, I still think he is nuts and *I* am nuts for accepting because February is our busiest month with Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, cheer, baseball, basketball, and various other things thrown in there.  There are worse challenges that I could do though, so here I go!  Day 1 of 28 is now complete!

Disclaimer – I took this picture not long after starting my ride today.  I actually rode 15 miles on the trainer, which is a good start as I would like to average ten miles a day.
