I dusted off my skates and my wool knee-high socks and headed toward the pond.
It was a nice sunny day, decently warm for January. So bright we couldn't even keep our eyes open.
With my skates securely laced, i was ready to go.
Under what looks like snow and slush, was a layer of smooth, unadulterated ice.
Where i could really open up my wings and soar.
Then when I was done showing off for the locals, Erin and I built a lovely snow-man in the middle of the pond.
Snow face is better than no face.

THANK YOU for the jack frost reference. that movie can NEVER be quoted too much. i do love the bush eyebrows and moustache-- very nice touch. and seriously, mitch-- you can get AIR like that on ice skates? i had no idea you had those skills. . .
Sounds like a lovely day in the park . . . But is it wrong that I was waiting/holding my breath for some crazy crash-and-burn, race-to-the-hospital, need-emergency-plastic-surgery-to-repair-the-hideous-blade-lines-on-my-face kind of crash landing? (Have you ever seen more -dashes- in a sentence??) It's just that I know you, and I've come to expect a certain number of natural disasters to befall you -- just like people expect me to wreck a car every other month . . . Not that I'm disappointed that you're OK, but maybe you could fake a cool crash pic for after your amazing jump, just for the reader's entertainment . . . Somethin' to consider, eh? :-)
cool crash pic. genius. pure genius. we need to hire you melayna as our creative photo shoot assistant. maybe next time.
I would like to see a blog from Melayna. I'd be an avid reader. Not that M and E aren't truly inspiring bloggers. Or is that boogers...Loved the "Blades of Glory" story.
What a stud, Mitch! Do you truly have your own ice skates? I'm jealous, and confused...what was the tennis shoe picture about?
Love ya, glad you didn't crash and burn.
