A Super Sunday with Family

      I started Super Bowl Sunday by going to church at the Church of the Covenant in Averill Park.  It's always fun to sing with the choir there.  After church they had a Souper Bowl fund raiser where we each paid to get a bowl of soup.  Sat with Val Gray and his girlfriend and Carol Gray and her husband.  I've been singing with Val and Carol since the early 60s when we all attended the West Sand Lake Methodist Church.  Val and I were each in Oneonta during the late 60s, he at Hartwick and I at SUC  Oneonta.  Our path crossed regularly during those 4 years.
     After church I drove up to Saratoga and met Sue and George for a little cross-country skiing.

We went over to the Saratoga Battlefield National Park and skied the Wilkenson Trail, which is about 4.5 miles.

The conditions were excellent.  It was warm enough that the snow was a little granular, but it gave a great glide and wasn't sticky.  Only one fall, and that was minor.

      After the ski, we went back to Sue and George's house for pulled pork, cole slaw, potatoes, and the football game.  A busy day, but very rewarding.
