Garmin clearly doesn’t know snow. I shovelled the pad beside my garage, sidewalk around the house, to the front, front sidewalk, neighbour’s sidewalk, half of next neighbour’s sidewalk…and my Garmin watch buzzes with a ‘Move’ reminder because I’ve been too sedentary.

Today wasn’t a complete write-off. I hung my Christmas lights and made some bread.

Our 5yo, while doing an extra lap after xc ski lessons: “I love winter!”

Thanks to Edmonton Nordic Ski Club for all your snow-making efforts and lessons.

Enjoying the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Hollywood for the Holidays with my son. No shade to rest of the orchestra, they’re all great, but the best is the ‘dance’ of the percussionists; no sitting down on the job.

Crowd sourcing an appropriate punishment. My son turned off ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ to play ‘Blippi - Vacuum Truck’ on repeat.

Had to stop mid-climb on this morning’s commute to record the event. First ride: Mar. 18/21. 10,000km: Nov. 7/23.
