Kenny got a snow jacket and mitts from his Oma and Opa for X'mas. They got some use today when we took him out to play in the fresh snow.

It was about -5^oC today, and the snow resisted snowballs and snowmen. But he managed to get plenty into his clothing and of course got his socks, pants, and mitts soaked.

And he smashed the first snow man he ever encountered. Well, Buddha. And then he used a rake to make a Zen garden. A specially impermanent one, almost as impermanent as my "Buddha statue".

rand()m quote

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.

—Kurt Russell
