A co-worker of mine who covered a Michigan Cup cross-country race last weekend said to me: “It feels like we’re having a winter for the ages this year – I’m getting out skiing and sledding and stuff more than I have in years.”

That made me wonder if I was enjoying my winter as much as I should be. My conclusion was that I’m not and my (belated) resolution is to start!

Gerry’s sons seem to have no such problems. She writes that they got a new tow behind sled for Christmas and decided to try it out behind the snowmobile. She made them put it up when I got this picture (she let them back out again though).

“They remind me of my brothers when we were kids,” she says. I hope that we can all take a little time and make sure that our kids (and ourselves) remind us of those days!
