(Courtney bundled against the Canadian cold)

| He snaps his rope and his dogs pull his sled off down
the hill toward the lake. When I try to snap my cord, my metal catch
is frozen shut. I have to take off my glove, wrap my hand around the
metal to melt the ice and try to tug it loose. Courtney is yelling
"Go, Jay! We have to go! Go!" Finally it snaps! The sled lurches forward
like it's being pulled by 8 mad and furious dogs (imagine that). |
