On the 12th Day of Christmas
I listened to Christmas carols, the traditional kind from an English church choir, as I pedaled to nowhere on the stationary bike at 6 am. Later, I took a walk at sunrise (well, around ten? it felt like sunrise anyway), before the kids from Australia came over from...
Sword Fights and Snow in the Forecast
Looks like we might have to skate on Chilkoot Lake after all today, as we won't be able to tomorrow, or for a while, if the forecast comes true. I hear the ice is solid, where the skaters have been, although there is a skiff of snow on top and you can't see it...
