                  Today I broke through the ice by our dock and found a starfish.
                  The starfish was surprisingly mobile considering the frozen
                  vann, but I guess that's normal for him. I've been practicing
                  yoga more in the cold weather in lieu of running. Yoga is a
                  very rewarding practice and when I was on Hilton Head I joined
                  my sister at her usual yoga studio. It was actually the first
                  time I've done yoga in a studio. It was an assault on my nose,
                  the incense and such, but I muddled through. My sister was
                  genuinely surprised that I knew what I was doing. I like to
                  think I'm on the level of Wim Hof in my skills, being
                  that I'm all European and such now. The inner fire will keep
                  me warm in the cold! Actually Charles Darwin believed in the
                  efficacy of dosing himself with a bucket of cold water in the
                  morning. I tried something a little more hard core in the
                  fjord today...
