We've been indulging in family workouts, getting ready for the upcoming ski season.

Dad is such a good sport! Who else would learn how to use a rebounder and bowflex machine at 79! He actually couldn't jump much tonight, he has a sore foot due to an encounter with a dog during a daring daylight raid on the chicken flock yesterday.

We have started working out around 8:00 at night after Dad and I finish our nightly online game of Hearts with my sister in Texas. Dave and I don our workout clothes and gym shoes and bring bottles of water; Dad changes into his slippers and brings a cup of coffee- a true scandinavian.

Tonight I wore my favorite Canadian Curves T-shirt to work out - look at those biceps. How am I doing, Thommy?
