Backed in You can't believe how bad the Flames have sucked the last few games -- they beat Edmonton last Saturday night by the hair on your chinny chinny chin chin --- then they went into Vancouver and promptly lost -- THEN they came back and lost to Edmonton here 2 -1 went to Edmonton and stabbed the Oilers chance of getting into the playoffs by beating them but then they lost to Minnesota last night - 3 -1...... they have one more game in Vancouver on Saturday but Vancouver is done, too...... Kipper was fabulous but nobody supported him -- they really use every opportunity to get in his crease. I bet they go out in the first round.... not hopeful I am afraid...\
Weather greata --- outdoor concert for about 15000 last night in Olympic Plaza for a concert for the Junos --- Finger 11 played and a whole bunch of other rockers..... the town is full of Cdn. "star" --
Feist is here, etc.
Glad to hear from you --- it sounds pretty wild and certainly a little different than I had imagined. Certainly a little less primitive than I thought -- altho this water thing could be a problem unless you get rain, hey???
Off to Palm Springs on Wednesday -- it is 89 - 90 and looking forward to spa things and meeting with friends and shoppping and stuff....
Will write again soon... Take care
OK it's better The weather has finally gotten warmer -- we may have to have a day or two more of COLD -- but no blowing snow or stupid stuff --- furthermore, the Flames beat San Jose last night ---- 5-4 --- Owen Nolen got a hat trick -- hasn't had one since 1999. Giguere got pulled last night in game between Anaheim and Minnesota -- he was furious but they got 3 quick goals on him - so he went to the bench..... Super Bowl weekend and it may for once be an exciting game -- but I am hoping for New England to equal Miami's record....
Anything exciting happening on your end ---- are you one of a group looking after your little village -- or are you pretty much it???
Will write again in a day or two..... take care...
42 below and counting Jaime -- I am with you in terms of flying business class (executive or whatever) especially for the distance you went... Now we just have to get you to up your sights a bit from the hostel thing --- remember me saying that staying at the Holiday Inn is camping.... now it doesn't have to be the Ritz but you know the Four Seasons aint bad.......
We have had a cold spell that hit like a ton of bricks, arriving on Saturday (the 26th) and will continue at least until tomorrow (the 30th). There is beans for snow here but your Mom has gotten lots as they always do and furthermore, Port Moody, Coquitlam, Burnaby had lots of snow and Vancouver downtown, got none -- altho' I think they ended up with stuff in West Van and North Van.... it is certainly wild weather patterns ---and by the way Al Gore -- it ain't warm, it is COLD...
Went out to Qualicum Beach quickly last weekend to visit friends who had been away all December on a cruise around Hawaii... Greg and Kathy and I go to Tofino on the 7th of February and that will be another wonderful break --- hope to see a whale or two and I gather there are lots of Bald Eagles,too....
It was my birthday on the 23rd so Michael and I and Scott and Michelle went back to Casa Ditalia --- we ordered that great bread again but Michael and I had a fish dish that included calamari, shrimp, mussels, salmon and scallops done in a fabulous broth with a pastry covering similar to the bombe bread..... Very good -- Michelle didn't want to go there again but I really did like that place and since it was my birthday and I was paying, that's where we went.... so there....
Have been to see Juno and will see a few more shows before the Oscars but you will just have to wait until you get home and see them on DVD.
Have to close off, but wanted to send you and note and hope you are settling in -- have you met any of the kids/students etc. yet???
Take care..... we all say and love ya a bunch.....
You tha WOMAN~ Just so you know it...especially while you are SHOWING it down there...You are the WOMAN....you are going to heal, education and help those people DREAM! Lucky sods;) I LOVE YOU!!!!!
