This is a good story. The Jack London story was survival scary, pins and needles scary even though clearly you lived to tell about it. I likes that 'OMG, what's going to happen' feeling. You are indeed a very good writer.

thanks. That truly was a frightening moment. It made me feel my age — and my bullheaded stupidity. I shouldn’t have been out there. But then again, it was immensely satisfying to conquer the fear, to skate my way out of a jam and to get home.

Indeed. My youngest and I haven’t done anything like it since.

At least not yet.
