Balmy 7� in the U.P. at 6 this morning. The thaw we had a couple of weeks ago melted just enough to turn everything into an ice rink now that it's back to normal temps. Was on 2 different lakes last weekend tip-toeing around, cheapo ice creepers didn't help.

Minnesota h.s. hockey tournament is great, been watching that since I was a kid with my dad. Will continue to watch with my kids now. Daughter made a comment the other morning about it, "If grandpa were here he would be talking about hockey with Connor (my son)."
