A pretty cool day....

So one of the guys from my Sunday night hockey team always rents the ice on Christmas Day in the afternoon for some fun family skating time..... lots of kids, lots of exercise and some goodies afterwards. But this year ... aside from the usual festivities.... we all had a bit of a surprise... Another friend is the brother-in-law of Gary Roberts... former Maple Leaf / Penguin... and a really cool guy... i've met him a few times and he's very down to earth and personable. So we get Gary to skate with.... although he took me into the boards and i still have a sore elbow... But we also have the treat of holding an Olympic torch... a real one!!! One of the guys has a work colleague who carried the torch and lent it to us for pics and Torch-time... very cool to hold and hoist. A really neat way to spend the day before Christmas before stuffing ourselves with too much food and falling asleep on the couch....
