Other Things

We had a pleasant Thanksgiving holiday, spending time with both sides of the family. Cold weather seems to have descended on Pittsburgh, finally, as well. Saturday was a beautiful day, though, with crisp temperatures and lots of sunshine. It would have been a nice bouldering day, but family trumps climbing (most of the time), and so I just took a nice spin around the city to work the turkey and stuffing out of my system.

In rally news, Ford signed Skoda’s Toni Gardemeister to replace Francois Duval. There is no official news from Markko Martin, but as I said before, he’ll likely go to Peugeot. Colin McRae has taken himself out of the running at Skoda, and rumors are circulating that he and protege Kris Meeks may land in the second seat at Ford.

Also, we (along with Jen’s family) took a trip to the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum on Saturday. It seems most of the city had the same idea. It is a very neat place, but I think Seb was about 6 months too young to really appreciate it. There was some fun stuff for him, but nothing he couldn’t have done at home.
