Ice skating and baseball are my two favorite sports. Chicago has a downtown ice rink at Millennium Park that just opened again yesterday for the winter season. It is an outdoor rink, and it has cooling pipes underneath so they can keep the ice frozen for temperatures up to about ## 50^o ## F. I hope to skate there soon=perhaps this coming week. :)

And yes, today I went ice skating at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. Temperatures were around 50 degrees, but the rink has cooling pipes underneath to keep the ice frozen. Good exercise. :)
