Came home from work early and stood around talking with my wife for a while, looking at the mail, christmas cards, etc.  When it came time to go change and hop on the erg, I really didn't want to do it.  I almost said "not tonight' and that would have been the first in a series of 'later...;  ending up with me not completing the Christmas Challenge.    But, No.  I did it anyway.  Three 20 minutes sets on the rowing machine and good ones at that.  4386, 4347, and 4360 meters totaling over thirteen kilometers.

I read a joke in the doctor's office today.  It is from an old Reader's Digest so you have probably heard it before.  It may fit me a lot closer that I'd like to admit.  One man says to the doctor " I think that I have CDO!"  The doctor says "I don't know of a disease by that name."  The man answers "Well, it is OCD with the letters in the correct order!"

One more day of rowing in this week.  Then the last week starts. If I can keep to the schedule, I'll be finished the day before Christmas Eve.  Wish me luck!
