Taking a break for a little winter fun

I never learned how to ice skate, myself. I was somewhere around eight or nine before I saw my first pair of skates and by that time the boys in Duluth (my family had just moved there to live) were playing organized hockey. So I was relegated to skating with the girls and, not realizing what a good deal that was (I'm a slow learner too) lost interest and gave up.

But this guy does look like he's having a lively time.
