Round 5 - Day 4

What's up? MC&aHNY. We had a great trip to Australia. We all had our moments, but all in all, a lot of fun. Highlights? (no particular order) Shooting 79 on Boxing Day (holing a birdie putt on the last, and the footage posted onto Facebook), roast lamb at Auntie Pat's, driving through swarms of locusts on the way to Avoca, Christmas morning with Leigh and Tim and the boys, jumping off the boat in the bay, Puffing Billy, seeing Willy lose his mind at the zoo and museum, hearing the truth about Mikka's DUI, popping in to Uncle Mick's and Willy getting handcuffed and deputized, Willy at the beach in Coolangatta, JoJo walking like a champion, and actually trying to run once. Lots of great times and memories. Thanks to everyone who looked after us, especially Leigh and Tim and the boys, Stevie and Sarah, golf partners Shannon and Prentice.
This year is a big year. I want to try a lot of things this year. I have started another round of fitness, "Round 5 - Response Ability" which will culminate in a 15 kilometre run on Sunday, 10th April. I want to get real lean, too. I want to try to get a little "Paleo", which is a movement happening in America right now, which is about returning to how we used to live before we got all smart and shit. Lots of fruit, vegetables, meat. Few or no grains, sugar, or dairy. Also, and perhaps a little radically, no soap or shampoo! I'm going to give it a try. Apparently the first two weeks are rough, because the skin is so used to having it's essential oils and stuffed stripped away by chemicals every day that it overproduces, but once it gets used to that not happening, it sorts itself out. Of course I will still have showers and wash my hair, but just with water. And of course I will still use soap to wash my hands, because it's the most effective way to prevent colds and flue, but otherwise, let's see how we go. The last time I used soap and shampoo was... the morning of Tuesday, 11th of January. It's Saturday evening now. I'll give it two weeks. Unless I really start to stink.
Anyway, it's snowing! Yea!
