Friends

I went out with an old friend from 10 years ago to an outdoor ice rink. I used to skate almost everyday, but hadn't laced up my old skates in years. Good news: I can still skate. Bad news: I think my feet have grown. Luckily my friend, seen on the right of me above, is a hockey player and keeping up with him wasn't as hard as I originally thought.

It feels very much unlike the holidays here. It's over 80 and sunny and I am very frustrated with a major component of my life, so it hasn't much put me in the holiday spirit. I will be in a different place next year.
