New skates

| No Comments

This weekend saw a bit of snow, the first nontrivial snow of 2012 here. It fell on a Saturday, which if you have no errands that need urgent attention, means it can be ignored mostly. For some reason, the quietude spilled over to Sunday. Bert and I found the Sunday morning skate a bit quieter than usual. Literally. The usual radio oldies music was mute.

Last week, Jordi and Josie joined us. Jordi has himself a new pair of skates, his first non-rental pair. Josie is making a bit of progress.

She and I were sitting in the changing area before the break and I mentioned the Zamboni would be on the ice soon. The loud horn and not knowing what the heck "the Zamboni" is, had her a bit spooked. Once the Zamboni was circling the ice and could be seen though the glass doors, it seemed safe enough for a closer look.

The Patriots played and defeated the Ravens this afternoon. I split my time between watching and baking a pecan pie from the Deerfield's Bakery recipe from "Killer Pies". Not a bad way to spend the day.
