  1. The anticipation you feel the night before your first trip of the season.
  2. A clean, dry highway and plowed secondary roads.
  3. A long, fast, ride to the lake by snowmobile.

2012 has already been a year to remember. The first major event was the birth of my first granddaughter: Nevaeh Anlynn Mikulinski. Nevaeh’s mother is my daughter, Nicolette.

This is the first time I’ve started an ice fishing adventure with a trip to the mall but according to my partner, my 13 year old daughter who simply must have the right shoes for her grade 8 graduatio
