EDiTOR’S NOTE Be thankful for what you have, while you have it Amron, A Division of AMTEC Corporation
Putting together Part II of the Winterbook special section made me think about just how much stuff there is to do in the Wausau area. That’s something to really be thankful for.

One of the things I learned, unfortunately, is that the speedskating club has folded. I had once skated in the club, and it was fun; but also, it was pretty expensive. The club always seemed caught in a catch 22: ice time is very expensive, so the club either needed a lot of members paying a smaller fee, or a few members paying a larger one. It’s hard to get a lot of members if your fees are high, but if you don’t charge high fees, well, someone has to pay for that ice time. If too few people pay the smaller fees, that leaves a pretty big ice bill. In a column by Keith Uhlig last year, it appears that people are starting to distance skate on river and lake ice, which is common in Nordic countries. And you’ll see from the guide that there are plenty of places to fat bike. It’s sad to see the club go, but at least there are plenty of other winter sports in the area to take its place. Buddhism teaches impermanence of all things, and it’s a lesson I continue to learn. It’s also a good reminder to be thankful for what we have, while we have it. That’s all we have in the end.
