The Czech word for January means 'the ice month'. In Boulder, January is not turning out to be the ice month. We have had recent daily temperatures in the upper 60's and lower 70's. The warm weather made for great spring-like skiing conditions last weekend. Martha and I skied at Copper Mountain on Sunday. It was the first time that I have gone skiing since my knee surgery in November so I was a little nervous. But I felt great. Then I went Skiing with Charlie and Nina at Eldora on Monday as a part of the Manhattan Middle School ski club. Both days were sunny and warm and it felt more like March than January.
We have all been busy with work and school, getting back into the swing of things after the holidays. Nina has joined the wrestling team at school. She is having a great time and they have had two wrestling meets so far. In each of the meets she has won one of her three matches. Here is a photo of Nina after winning her first match:
Nina's birthday is on Friday. We will be skiing with the Manhattan Middle School ski club on Saturday, then Nina is inviting some friends over for a sleep-over that night.
