What better way to start 2009 than with a skate ski on a frozen lake? After a few hours of sleep (*very* few), we headed out into the beautiful winter morning.
We headed out across the lake and did a circumnavigation of Chief's Island before making our way back. We saw two large coyotes along the way. My view usually looked like this.
I informed the crew that my New Year's resolution is to find new friends who are less fit, since it's so hard to keep up with all these great athletes! I'm sorry, but that goes for you too, Crash, Rocky, Slowrunner, PhattyJR, Hammer, Tiny, Slice, Bender, FB, Urthbuoy, Revy, Carbon, Mr. and Mrs. Gally, Sherpa, Dogrunner, Flatfoot, Zoolander, Hansel, Nick, Meridian, Superwes, Mick and... well, the list goes on and on, doesn't it? 'Bent has asked for special dispensation to remain on as "spouse".
Did I mention what a beautiful morning it was?
Here's the gang in action - from L to R, Leanimal, Phatty, Coach LD, 'Bent and Goose.
Thank you to Phatty and Leanimal, our gracious hosts for New Year's once again.
Happy New Year to all!
