A recent minor surgery is keeping me off of the X Country skis for a few weeks. So, for now, I walk.

But I don’t mind. These things are kind of fun.

Marlene and I went cross-country skiing in a light rain on Christmas Day.

I might think global warming if it weren’t 30 below just a couple of nights ago. Didn’t feel like global warming then, at all. In fact, that is as cold as I can remember it being here, in 20 years.

Merry Christmas!
