A Winter Reprieve... sort of.

Winter doesn't officially end until March 19, but the recent warm-up allowed Char to take advantage of the weather at a local park on Sunday.

As I chased her around the playground, I noticed that I was colder than I thought I'd be, and I was unusually stiff. I guessed it was just the winter creaks. Little did I know that five hours later I'd be shaking in bed with a 101.5 fever.

Like the slides at the park, life has it ups and downs.
