Fighting the Rhino

Zack and I have entered a tremendous battle. We are fighting a rhino. It is a desperate and fierce battle, but we are determined to win.

No we have not traveled Africa and are out on safari. Instead we are at home in our family room for this battle. The battle we are fighting is against the rhinovirus! Yeah - we have colds. Ok - so I probably blew it out of proportion in the first paragraph - just a little bit of writer's license. Zack has been hacking his lungs out for the last several days. He now has a full blown cold and I am starting the ramp-up towards a full blown cold. Oh well - I don't think there are going to be too many outdoor adventures for us this weekend. Instead I think we will mainly hanging around inside. We need to get the Christmas tree up and decorated and the outside lights put on the house. We do have some plans to hang out with Zack's friend Keelie and family. But Keelie is also sick - so we will see if that happens. On a fatherly note - I am very concerned that Christmas is only 20 days away. Oh my goodness - how am I very going to get all the shopping done that I need to do. I am not liking the fact that Christmas and Thanksgiving were so close together this year. We hope everyone has a good shopping experience this weekend as you get all your Xmas shopping done. Thanks and peace to all!
