There were about 15 other kids on the hill, too; mostly boys. They built a ramp out of snow and were taking turns running into each other.

The little kid headed down the hill happy as could be, except for when her foot got stuck in the steering rope, and she was pretty sure she was permanently stuck on the hill, entangled in a sled.

A couple of times, I hopped on back and rode down with her. It’s something you’re never too old to do. Maybe when I’m 80 years old, we’ll still go down the hill on the sled.

We had an ice storm here today. See the icicles?

I had to take our schnauzer out front to pee because the back deck was all ice. While I was out there, the neighbor’s tree snapped off a big branch due to the weight of the ice, and it fell beside their car.

It was a long day indoors. At 4pm, I let the dogs out back and the ground was just wet. We got in the car and ran a few errands and then grabbed a coffee from the local coffee house (one of many coffee houses around here, mind you). It was good to get out!

I have been sitting here listening to the Canadiens v. Predators game. The Habs lost in a final shoot-out (a tie-breaking process after OT doesn’t render a winner) 4 – 5.

Losing doesn’t seem to be quite the big deal it is for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Canadian fans are sweet, really, compared to the cut-throat Nebraska football fans.
