Strong Community

I've been so impressed watching the F/M community pull together to protect their city. It's almost overwhelming watching the news. Thousands of people have spent tireless hours volunteering and a lot of them not even from the city. What an amazing act of courage and selflesseness.... my heart goes out ot them as they fight the flood together.

Hawaiian Day At Spirit

Jill and I spent the day skiing at Spirit Mountain during Hawaiian Day!! It was so beautiful outside- we didn't even wear a jacket!! We also did the water skipping competition where we skiied across a pool. Jill made almost made it across and I made it about 1/2 way. It was really fun... but took my boots like a week to dry out.

Farewell Domino

So my best friend Mary Ida got me hooked on the cutest magazine: Domino. I went online today to look at some things I found in the March issue and here's what I found:

It is with very heavy hearts that we say farewell. Over the last 4 years, in 28 issues, we have done our best to create a great magazine. We started with a real idea—that style is for everyone—and tried to carry it out with stories that provide inspiration and empower you to act on it. From your tremendous response, we know that we were onto something. In this tough economy, however, we simply weren't able to get the advertising support we needed.
As domino evolved, we never lost sight of our original democratic premise. Looking back at the manifesto we published in the premiere issue, the first tenet of domino is still the truest: Home should make you happy. We hope we have played a part in making this come true for you.

Love,

All the editors of domino

Let the Birkie capture your soul....

A few weekends ago Jen, Joey and I went to the American Birkebeiner ski race. We staying in a really cute cabin at the "Home of Famous Daves". It was in Hayward, WI which is such a fun town. We had a blast. We went for morning runs, skiied in the race and cooked on an antique stove. Check out our pics...

Waxing my ski's... the key to excellent race ski's is brushing your ski's until your hands fall off....

Anne and I holding the signs Jen made for us...

YAY- finished the 8K. I'm totally going to do the Kortelopet next year (25K).

Joey drives a FIT (Ronda the Honda).... so of course we had to take a picture with it!

We are really excited about our new trail shoes...
