Thursday, March 01, 2018 26 comments We've had a few days of glorious spring "teaser" weather here . . . but apparently that's coming to an end later today with a return to winter as previously scheduled. Massive snow etc. I'm hoping that might mean an opportunity for XC skiing o... Read more

Monday, February 05, 2018 26 comments Really feels good to change up the exercise a bit -- even if the exercise itself (sticky XC skiing) is less than optimal. I always prefer exercise outside: golf, kayaking, walking, XC skiing. Sure the gym is great for ST and I have ... Read more
Second Ski!!
Sunday, February 04, 2018 23 comments Got some fresh wax and tried skiing again today but . . . still not much glide. It was sticky and slow. Still wonderful to be out there in the fresh snow, and a terrific workout! My arms and back are really feeling it. All set for ... Read more
