Well hello there …

its been a while since I blogged … really blogged and not just posted shit … so here’s the November Update

Lets see – So far a lot has been going on this month.

It started out with Phil and I getting pumped for the ski season by taking in the new Warren Miller flick – Playground. And may did I want to start ripping on the Mountain after that show!



Saturday it was off to see Black Mountain at Richards on Richards – Great show, very hippy rawk. – Check them out: http://www.myspace.com/blackmountain

And it was all chillin’ on Sunday after that jam packed weekend

The following weekend (the 10th, a LONG weekend in B.C. I might add!!!) Phil and I drove out to Chilliwack to take in some Toyota sponsored WEST COAST ARENA CROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS… and I have to tell you, I was sceptical but I know now its an uber cool sport. Kind of nasty to inhale all that exhaust but so dang entertaining to watch 4 yr olds rip around a dirt bike track … and the big guys get BIG AIR! WEST COAST ARENA CROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS

This past weekend was full of fun and friends. Friday was a nite out at The Morrissey where we drank and chatted till the wee hours … and then stumbled home.

Saturday we attempted to see Beowolf but it was sold out so we went bowling instead … Yup, bowling. I was kicking ass in the first game but lost my mojo in the second and came in 3rd … ah well. Good times had by all.

Sunday was a treat day as we went out to the fancy, schmancy Fairmount Waterfront for the first of many Toyota Christmas Parties, this one for the Langley Dealership. It was a HUGE buffet feast, with everything you can think off, and desserts to die for! Then it was off to GM Place to take in the Canucks/Flames games from a private Penthouse Suite!!! Very posh! Thanks ‘Yota!!!

And this weekend is more fun, fun, fun, as I head back to Toronto for a fast but fully booked up trip to see my girl Kel walk down the isle!! I’m so excited for her and can’t wait to see everyone again!

I’m sure I’ll have lots of stories and pics to share once I get back so stay tuned for the next update.

Quote of the day ... its a day late - SORRY!

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot

Guy Fawkes

Good Funnies!!

Thanxz P!

Quote of the Day

November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.
