Escape to the North Woods!

We spent a great weekend up near Drummond, Wisconsin—about halfway between Hayward and Bayfield—with our friends Tim, Chadia and Ismael. We did a lot of eating various types of protein (fish, cheese-filled brats, burgers, etc.) and smores, singing silly kids songs and talking over beers. Basically, exactly what you're supposed to do at a cabin in the north woods. So far, no bullseye rashes that might signify a tick bite. And we managed not to get mauled by wolves or crazed killers hiding in the forest. I think Madeleine might still miss the deer hanging from the wall. I, on the other hand, was sad to say goodbye to the Chambers-Samedis, but happily bid the deer head au dieu. I will definitely be heading back to Bayfield some day. What a cool little town.

Tri-Loppet, Part Deux

After hearing about Polly's training for the Ironman, this race seems like a piece of cake!
