Even though I spent the first two weeks of 2013 sick, it hasn't been that bad so far. I obviously started the New Year out wonderfully at home with the family and friends. I've seen a lot of movies that were good, everything from Argo to Zero Dark Thirty. I was also introduced to Duck Dynasty, started reading a couple books and joined a gym. I didn't have to work on Monday so that was also another good thing. Looking forward to February!

A co-worker and friend of my brother was killed in an accident yesterday. Here is the story.

Keep her family in your thoughts and prayers as well

One of my students, a nine yr old girl, mother had a heart attack and died last night. Keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

The wind has been bad here the past two days but today has been the worst day by far. I've seen numerous senior citizens holding on to trees, light poles and signs for dear life. Small dogs have not been spared either.

Just finished the last episode of season two of Duck Dynasty today. I've had a lot of good laughs watching the two seasons of the show since I got back to Spain.

Congrats Knoxville!
