What a Country!
After church on Sunday, I accompanied my girlfriend to Doon Heritage Crossroads, which is a 1914 replica village. She was singing Christmas carols in the chapel for a few hours, so I wondered around. It was actually a lot of fun. I got to sample Christmas baking and I bought a train ticket to Montreal for $2.75. The one problem however, was the frigid temperatures. At first, I didn't quite believe it was -16 Celsius, but after walking around for a few hours, I didn't have as much trouble believing. After that, going anywhere took a lot of convincing. We saw Ocean's 12 that night (decent movie, I didn't like the twist at the end, and I hated the one really stupid dramatic technique). My car reluctantly started Monday morning, and it creaked and moaned for a while before it warmed up.

Walking out of the arena today after an afternoon game of hockey, it felt really warm. It was probably +1 degree Celsius. I had just a t-shirt on and my winter jacket wide open, and it was great. It's amazing how we adapt. I love the temperature range from around -5 to 0. Right where the snow still stays frozen, but your body can still handle the cold. It's looking like it could be another great winter.
