Bills 30, Colts 7

We spent the last 5 days in Muskoka. Excellent skiing, saunas and burning lots of firewood - especially Saturday and Sunday. It was -5 on Wednesday at lunchtime then it warmed up to zero on New Years Eve and stayed there for about 24 hours before the cold air moved in. Saturday morning at 6.30am, it was -22 and the high reached -16. Had a quick skate on Wednesday afternoon. The ice was about 7 inches thick. The snow was sticky on the fish-scale skis on New Years Day but became powdery and fast with the cold.

The Fan 590 carried the wintery Bills game and we listened to all of it as we crept down Hwy 400 through the snow and heavy holiday traffic. I also heard large chunks of the post-game press conferences including Perry Fewell's. He is a likeable guy and, although he is considered a long shot to get the permanent coaching job, I hope he stays with the team either way.

As always, the Bills off-season is sure to be a busy one and, like most of the last 10 years, more exciting then the season itself. New GM Buddy Nix has lots of work to do. Let's hope he knows what he's doing.
