I went out withurban_squrrl, Aelfwyn, and Daffyd to a new skating place just north of Gatineau Park today. It was amazing! There was a nice big cabin for changing into skates, and 3 km of trails through the woods, in one big loop or three smaller loops. I ended up skating about 10 km. The weather was absolutely perfect and the trees were gorgeous. There were

*The weather was absolutely perfect*

You say this and all I see is snow, cold, icy snow... Where are the palm trees and the trade winds?

It does look like you all have a blast! I'm glad as you really deserve a day of fun after all that you do!

See our bare hands and faces? We were actually getting too warm. Once I remembered how to skate and got my heart rate up, I was almost ready to take off my coat (I did unzip it).

Besides, cold is relative. It's -24C today, (-11F). I'll be digging out the big boots and coat for sure.

Wow, that never happened with me! it's good that I ended up some place with no snow. I have zero tolerance for it.

Oh, dear goddess. I'm whining because it's only 56 F here.

I, on the other hand, hate humidity. You should hear me whine when I'm hot and sticky! No, on second thought, that amount of whining should not be shared...

I'm sure it's the same amount when I'm the least bit cold and not happy about it. :D
