I have also been getting some nice weather and sunrises.





There was some snow in the air today, but not really any on my little island or paradise. When I left work yesterday there was a few inches on the ground, which is something the area is apparently not accustomed to; they haven't seen snow like this in five years. It wasn't a problem with my snow tire equipped van and slower and more cautious then normal driving techniques honed over winter on the Tug Hill Plateau of northern New York.

My cycle commutes have been regular, almost everyday! Which is saying a lot from about two years ago. Though they are only about 1 km. It is not far from the house to the dock. The boat ride has been really nice though (see pics) I have finally invested in quality Helly Hansen PVC rain gear and good rubber boot with boat tread, it is very nice, although I have a hard time not overheating. I have been towing the kids in the trailer and then usually a umbrella stroller and shopping carrier (granny basket).



Anywho I have been working as a sub for two school districts, though most of the work has been in one school. That has given me a chance to get to know/recognize a lot of students. My wife and in laws were a away for a while so the work schedule was on a rough start and then I got a call from the HR head to see if I was committed. It didn't help that (I let) my daughter tumble down the stairs at the playground and crack a rib and collarbone, while my wife was out of town. The girl is only 18 months but a damn trooper; she cried for maybe 90 seconds, popped her soother back in her mouth and kept going. I finally took her to the hospital the next morning since she was just not feeling right. I knew it wasn't major, but I just wanted to be sure and knew what I was dealing with.

Otherwise we are very happy with our move, living next door to the in-laws has been (dare I say) great. For a few weeks while mom in law was busy working I was cooking for them almost every night, which was very appreciated.

I miss posting here but I have not had much to report on the 2 km round trip commute, but I have been lurking and reading everyone's posts.

I hope everyone stays warm this time of year.
