First snow

One or two inches have fallen already. But that’s okay. I am ready for it and looking forward to skiing Theodore Wirth park and Elm Creek Park Reserve. I also want to check out the trails at Willow River State Park outside Hudson WI. They have some great hiking trails but I have never been there in the winter before. I am in better shape than I was last year and have more reason to get out since I have been so cooped up inside – at home reading all kinds of damn books and at work under fluorescent lights.

And today I biked to work under the falling snow with my thermal underwear and my headlamp and stopped for a sandwich on a bench on the Greenway and watched the cars go by on Highway 100. I should really get a mountain bike.

Also went to the Annex Teen Clinic benefit last night. I left pretty soon though. I don’t need to hear the oldies performed again. Not when I could be sleeping.
