Iceboating...

…back in the day...

Somehow, this photo ended up on the dresser in my bedroom and has remained there for well over a decade. I look at it every night, but can’t begin to figure out who is who. I know the boat is the famed Arrow, and the lake is Crystal Lake.

In other news, the Wombat is back! Sue and I got her out of Roger’s barn this afternoon, after an idleness of what, three years? With the weather pattern we are now experiencing—deep cold and little precipitation—I’m betting there will be lots of thick ice in lots of places, at least until the first of April. I’m imagining more than a few days with a fair breeze, bright sun, and the thermometer over the freezing mark. That could be fun.
