Call it the winter blahs I guess, but I sure wish I was windsurfing somewhere right now! Windsurfing would mean we would be on water, NOT ice & snow and the temperature would be a whole lot better than we have around this part of the world right now! It’s been so cold and windy, but only windy it seems when I’m out of town without my kite, or at work unable to kite! So, with my snowkiting sessions being few and far in between this winter, my thoughts turn to ’soft’ water, warm temps, sandy beaches, and on and on.
I wish I was windsurfing….

For the past 5yrs now we’ve been gathering at our good friends Barb and Rick’s place challenging the kids to a hockey game on Link’s rink on the lake. The annual ‘Parents vs Kids’ game has become a real highlight of our winter activities. The Parent Team was coming into this year with a perfect 4-0 record, but we quickly found our hands full with a kids squad of 12 and all 6 of us parents trying to defend our title! The kids jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead before we started to claw our way back. In regulation time (first team to score 10), there seemed to be a bit of controversy on how the parents managed to get 10 goals first while the kids had only 8. So with kids dreams almost shattered, we decided on a good ol’ shootout. Well the kids displayed their true ability in whooping our butts 4-0 in the shootout. So a big congrats to Team Kids for finally de-throning “The Champs” after all these years.
We will have our parental revenge! Hmmm, house chores anyone?
Stay Cool…
