stickin' with a theme

In honor of the cold spell that just hit Chicago and dumped many inches of snow for me to shovel, I have pictures from California. But not just any pictures...pictures of my nephew on ice skates! Oh yeah, this is how it begins. Adam learns to skate, loves it, tells his cousin how cool it is, his cousin wants to do it, next thing you know, the Rolnick cousins are lifting the Stanley Cup over their heads (and not just a replica on display at some NHL store).





My brother said that he hunched over and held Adam between his legs while gliding around the rink. Adam thought it was fun and so did my brother (although his lower back argued to the contrary).

The cold that is invading Chicago also means that the outdoor ice rink up the street should be operational very soon, which, for me, makes not being able to feel my toes while standing outside completely irrelevant.

Sweeeeeeet.
