Erika still has the "old camera", so all the pictures aren't here yet and thus the skipping of the photo of the week, but here's some pictures from our Christmas in Colorado from my new camera - a great Christmas gift from a great wife!!!

During the baptism yesterday, the pastor made a reference to "The Life of Riley" and everybody in the church laughed. Naturally I thought it was the Sports Illustrated guy he was talking about, but upon further review, I found out what he was really talking about.

The Life of Riley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The Life of Riley"

Here's the reference I knew:

SI.com: "RICK REILLY, 49, is in his 23rd year as a senior writer for Sports Illustrated. He has been voted National Sportswriter of the Year 11 times, including this year. He is the author of the weekly 'Life of Reilly' column, which runs on the last page of SI."

We had a great weekend - a truly amazing couple of days. Highlights include, snow shoeing, chopping down our Christmas tree, making a wreath, dinner at the Gunflint Tavern, meeting Riley and seeing Darci and Chris, Riley's baptism, dinner from Mom, getting a flat tire and stealing somebody's shoes.

Here's a few good photos from this weekend.

Note, Erika and I snow shoed the Caribou Rock Trail - here's a good map of the area we hiked. We made real close to Canada, but turned around before we went in.

Here's this week's photo of the week. It comes from Saturday morning at the Gunflint Trail. There were many possibilities for Photo of the Week, this week - but this is the best camera work I did - it was also my first picture of the weekend and I knew that it would be good when I took it. Here's a link to an album from this weekend. On most weeks any of these could have been photo of the week.

Create at least one day this weekend that is truly amazing

I like this idea and I'm going to try it. It's from:
Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour Workweek and Lifestyle Design Blog

Here's this week's photo of the week - it's the view looking out our new living room window.
