For far too long, it has been a hit and miss situation of getting two things on my to-do list done. This past weekend, we finally got a chance to take care of one of them.

The two items on the list are walking on the top of a lake and sledding down a [...]

Obviously, I am an immigrant to the USA. If you read my blog at all, that much is very obvious. I am a bit more sensitive to a few topics such legal versus illegal immigration and the quality of life provided to my family in the nation I am living in. [...]
