I cross country skied about 35 years ago, but quit when I started having problems with pain in my right toe and ball of my foot.

I ice skated when I was in elementary school on the small pond we lived on. I haven't owned a pair of skates since those days.

But for the last 25 years I have disliked winter no matter how I dressed. Maybe I will renew the gym membership after all!

My brother took my Dad dog sledding in Duluth several years ago before my Dad died. Dad and my brother's family loved it. I am thinking of trying that . . . if I can find someone to go with. But that will be a one time treat!
I am sitting here 175 miles north of you watching the snow come down. I am not happy. I am bundled up on the couch. It probably would be healthier for me to head south but I made commitments for part of the winter, thinking that I would like the changes of the seasons. I don't. I am stuck here though because of commitments I made. I actually hope for snow so I can pull out my old skis and see if I can propel myself along.

Take care! The snowshoeing idea sounds like fun. REI has a snowshoeing basics class on November 25. It is free, you can sign up now before it fills up.
