The best part of the earthquake and mid night tsunami warning was that the next day all the schools got cancelled and I did not have to go to work. So we all got a sleep deprived vacation day. I gather it is only the second time in recent history that the schools have closed - Tsunami Day! And it turned out to he an absolutely gorgeous day.
Soon after sunrise I took a doggies into the park for a walk. I loved all the new snow under the trees, and the golden light slanting through the trunks. Then I took the kids and a friend to the golf course for skiing, sledding and fort building. I beat in a skate ski loop and did 25K. As I skied around and around I watched the kids partially climb up the backside of Pyramid and create a luge run. There was also a big drift where they built a fort.
Back home we did the paper route and I took another sunset walk in the park. The sunset was spectacular on the newly forming ice on the lake at Abercrombie - and I had forgotten my camera!
Later after dinner Stuey hopefully asked, 'what are the chances of another tsunami warning? I kind of hope it happens again!' Patrick
