Inspire…

I’m not sure I like to admit this, but I’ve been known to throw a few triple axels in my hay day. That’s right, Jordan Randall is an Ice Skater.. As it appears in the picture below, I almost landed the Nancy Kerrigan’s Blade of Glory… except mine was self inflicted. The land ended uncomfortably… dropping two kids with me. I guess that’s what they get for getting in my way on the kiddy rink. “O’Doyle Rules!”

All and all we had a great time! Chad, a long time buddy of mine from Stillwater, and some coworkers from NI Italy decided to spend the day ice skating to escape the hustle and bustle of big city shoppers making their last minute purchases for Christmas.

Then Chad and I headed up to the Swiss Alps (Cervinia) on Sunday for a little snowboarding and skiing action. The weather was absolutely perfect and we grabbed ourselves a few Bombardinos.

I’m not sure if it was the Bombardino or double black diamond that Chad and I accidentally went down but we got separated on the back side of the mountain and Chad almost ended up spending the night in Zermatt. They close the lifts after 3 pm for skiers to cross back over to the Italian Alps from the Swiss Alps and Chad was about 15 minutes late. Needless to say, we pulled the I’m American Card and got him back across. If you see him sometime, make sure to ask WHY he was 15 minutes late…
