Yesterday was one of the most enjoyable days of 2007.

The ice storm came through DC on my day off. The first thing we did was go outside and play in the ice. I became a human target as my kids practiced their snow ball throwing techniques! I think I have a few black-and-blue spots because they were more like ice balls than snow balls.

Then we went out for a family breakfast and no one was on the roads. In fact, Lora and I were saying it was one of the quietest mornings we can recall since we moved on Capitol Hill ten years ago. Usually the city sounds start early and often.

Then we went sledding at the Masonic Temple in Alexandria. Schweet! One of my favorite hills in the DC area. I’m actually sore from climbing the hill so many times!

Good times!
