Lake Tahoe is so beautiful....Bill had a rough night last night...cough, cough, cough......
We went for a morning walk and got our bearings and went for a little backcountry cc. ski. The conditions are very spring like. Blue bird sky! The lake is just so incredible. I can't believe you can walk right up to the lake in the snow and step on to the sand and the ground is not even frozen. You could on almost any given day....go for a stand up paddle, bike, jog, windsurf and ski...too crazy! We are going to call Jim now that we are feeling a little better...don't want to pass on our germs to anyone.

We wanted to pass our love and thoughts on to Unlce Lorne for a speedy recovery from surgery we didn't know he had until just days ago. We have spoke and thought of him often since we heard the news. I am sure Auntie G is taking great care of him and with a new grandbaby on the way we know he will make a speedy recovery.

I also wanted to pass along some healing thoughts to Michel (coach) as he took a slapshot to his arm last weekend playing in a hockey tournement and ended up needing surgery with plate & pins ouch...I am sorry you will miss your ski season, but just think you will be all rested up for tri season...

A big congratulations to the Howards on the arrival of their new baby girl... Bill thinks she was named after him "Willa" What do you think of that Jon? What does Oscar think of the new baby?
Can't wait to see you guys in Hatteras!
