+Greetings from frigid Durham, North Carolina. We've had an uncharacteristic amount of winter precipitation this month (mostly ice last weekend but a few inches of snow this one). On the one hand, our work is pretty flexible and we've gotten plenty of extra time with the kids. On the other, my home office and all my hobbies are in the basement, where it's presently around 40°F, so I'm about ready for things to get back to normal.

+I spent a few days in Miami for a company leadership retreat. Highlights included a run along the [Miami Beach Beachwalk][1] and beers at [Abbey Brewing Company][2]. Then we headed up to DC for a friend's baby shower and some time with my folks.

+While we were up there, our car finally gave up the ghost. It's been struggling to start for a while now, so it wasn't completely unexpected, but I'd hoped to replace it by choice rather than by necessity. We've got a Toyota Rav4 plug-in hybrid headed our way. I'm pretty psyched for this, getting around town on electric power but still being able to fill up with gas when we travel.
