Flecks of… Gray?

So I can pounce on it!! Catch it unsuspecting!

If you like to wait a little while to do your taxes and also like to do them online, RBC has a link to QuickTax which allows you to save 25% off the normal price, I don’t think that they verify that you’re an RBC customer, so you may just be able to use the link. I’d try it, it’ worth it

Right now, we’re finishing up our 1 month working vacation which has taken us from LA all the way up to Abbotsford; we’re flying back home on Saturday. Tanya has been happily house-sitting for us and I think she’s going to be sad to leave after a month of getting her own way.

I put my nephew to work taking three pictures of doorknobs while we were trying to waste time at the hockey rink, he came up with some neat shots.

Heidi has been really excited to be in Vancouver in 2010 to help volunteer at the Olympics. We’ve been watching a lot of the 2006 Olympics in Turin (what’s up with Torino? state name?) and she has gotten motivated from that. We also plan on watching hockey during that Olympics to watch the best players in the world – hopefully that includes Canada next time

Remember my friend, Rob, who’s off to Africa on missions? Well, he also got traded from the Als to the Eskimos so he’ll be moving to Edmonton for next year. Not so big of a loss seeing as how I don’t plan on living in Montreal next year anyways

With Slingbox! Wow, this ugly looking device looks pretty sweet – with it, you can take your Satelite or Cable, stream it over the internet and watch your channels wherever you are!

A trailer for the new movie from the Napolean Dynamite camp is out and it’s called Nacho Libre – looks pretty funny.

Our friend Rob, is off for a missions trip to Africa and he has a blog to prove it.

I’m learning so much about Linux because I need to install it for some work applications that I’m running. It’s called Fedora Core 4 and I’m intimidated already. This stuff is for people much smarter than me.

Oh, and Canada won in men’s hockey yesterday – I’ve been waiting 4 years for this kind of action!

Heidi and I took a ride out of Portland tonight to go and see our honeymoon stomping grounds of Cannon Beach, Seaside, and Hay Stack Rock. We spent about 10 days here on our honeymoon (~ 9 years ago!) and I didn’t really remember anything that I didn’t have cemented in my mind from photos – oh, what a fickle mind i have… It was terribly cold and we were very underprepared for it all so our tour tonight didn’t last too long at all

Here’s the shot that everyone was waiting for!

Heidi and I spent a quick day in SF on our way up from LA to Portland – tomorrow morning we’re off to Portland. We had an excessively busy day seeing lots of San Fran and also going out for a ride to Mavericks surf break. There was also the Chinese New Year parade downtown (which is where we are staying), no pics of that sorry. Lots of fun – check some pics.

Conan recently has found it funny that he looks a lot like the re-elected (female) President of Finland. Actually, I think it’s kinda funny too.

When I heard that Rick Tocchet and others were in trouble for a gambling ring that they were alleged to have been a part of back in New Jersey my heart actually beat a little faster – probably out of defensiveness of our Royal family, the Gretzky’s. Yikes!
