The Life of Reilly in February

Life has been good in North Carolina this February, we've been blessed with EXCELLENT weather, a few days in the 70s, many in the 60s and currently in the 50s. It has been wetter than normal but that's ok, I'll take it. Our old home, cold, complicated Connecticut, got nailed with over 2 feet of snow. For a quick view of just how nice it's been, check out my Daily Goods to see just how many days I've been able to trailrun and mtn bike. NICE!

We took Reilly to his very first Circus, he really enjoyed himself and actually sat through over 2 hours of three ring madness. He is really into animals so it was really neat to watch him react to actual elephants, horses, zebras etc.





Otherwise, this month has included a nice dinner with Gary and Nicki at the Lantern in Chapel Hill, Beth and I's favorite spot, a nice Valentine dinner at our other favorite place Acme in Carrboro, and a nice family gathering to celebrate Emily's 4th bd. Here are few additional pics of the Reister.

Not Living the Life of Reilly in Tampa

This past Thursday we left for an overdue trip to visit my Dad and Carol in Valrico, FL, just outside of Tampa. Reilly had a serious stomach virus Wednesday but by Thursday seemed to be over it so we decided to go for it. Unfortunately I came down with the stomach virus that night, missed most of Friday and Reilly got stung by a couple of bees. It was very nice to visit Dad and Carol and I only wish we could have stayed longer. I especially liked our drive back from dinner Saturday night, let's just say we saw some of Tampa's more colorful residents leaving some sort of pirate parade called the Gasparilla.
