This was our second time on the new shoes and we did the whole four mile tour. Pine forests are one of my favorite things in life, this place has a great one.

Judy didn't need to sit but I had to rest the old joints, first we had to brush off a little snow.

Skating with Dan, Amanda and Judy was great way to end the day.

On the way home I put my skates next to our swim fins, ah the blogs got a future.

Icicle's hanging off of buildings and temps in the single digits offer the perfect opportunity for soccer, indoor soccer.

Great views here after a fresh coat of snow.

We were supposed to spend the day on the couch today. Glad we got off it and went for this walk.

We ran into this guy ( Logan ) , a large poodle golden retriever mix. Happy dog and funny with his snow beard.

Judy and I want to thank Santa for the new shoes. This was the first time I ever wore a pair, good time. Also first time using timer on the camera. Gotta get a tripod, below is the rig we used to prop camera on.

1-8-11 Springfield Falcons AHL Hockey

Judy and I met Amanda and Dan downtown for a little hockey tonight. It didn't take long before we were on the Jumbo tron.

Interesting player names.

Falcons smoked the Checkers 7 to 3. Good time didn't expect the snow that was coming down after the game.
