Werd.

I'm feeling rather topsy turvy at the moment, in a good way. Despite my initial reaction to the diet sent to me by my dr., I'm not finding it difficult to be good. I'm actually enjoying the excuse to look for other food options. And I'm definitely enjoying being on my bike again several times a week.

Meanwhile, I've registered for school! In a week the first online course in what should be a year long program begins. I've already delved into a "teach yourself C" book to brush up on my beyond rusty skills, and I'm really excited about getting back into the learning groove. Especially since it will all be on my company's dime.

It feels like a pretty significant attitude and outlook shift and I'm feeling really good about it. I may very well come crashing down some time in the near future as February looms ever closer, but for now I'm going to just enjoy the high.

As promised here are some more photos. These are from Frankenmuth, Michigan this past Sunday.

Dinner was held at Zehnder's chicken restaurant. I had already had many cakes so in lieu of that I got a Birthday apple pie. A costumed chicken named Drumstick brought it out.

Here's a group shot outside the restaurant after dinner.

Frankenmuth is an a Bavairan Apline village that is celebrating it's 50th Birthday. Since it is German naturally their celebratory display features artificial beer steins.

There were many displays all around the town. Here's one by the Cheese Haus

As you know I am not one to imbibe in alcohol too much but I got my first taste of a mudslide and boy was it tasty!

Hope you liked those photos. More coming.

Wild, BD. I grew up about 45 minutes from there. Did you guys make it to Christmas Hell (I mean, Bronner's Christmas Wonderland?) The largest Christmas store on the face of the earth. Acres and acres and acres of Christmas stuff.

My family would go to Zender's about once a year. Glad you had a nice time on the road!

The answer to your question is a big resounding YES!!! Christmas is my favorite time of year so I was like a kid in a candy store!

It was completely amazing! Pictures can't do it justice. You have to see it!
