What Colour are you?

I actually think this is pretty accurate ;-)

BTW Flames 3 Sharks 0! Don't you love it how I only do write ups on the games the Flames win?


What Colour is Your Brain?

PS Brennan...we've already seen pictures of your brain. We don't need to know what colour it is.

I can do this too

I was feeling sorry for Dave, the family's sole author, so I decided to help him out by posting a blog of my own. I just got back from another whirlwind weekend trip... this makes 3 in a row... maybe soon I will spend a weekend in Vancouver, seeing as I just moved here. On Friday afternoon, I drove to Canmore with Todd and Pam. We arrived sometime around 2:00am local time, after having had a nice stop at Moose Mulligan's with Doug and Opal McManus for dinner in Sicamous. We spent the night at the Rocky Mountain Inn, and when we woke up we walked outside and were surrounded by lots of people that we hadn't seen forever... uncle Rob, Tyler, Bill, Sandy and their Hartman kids, Andrea, Stacey and Brad Hartman, Jill, Kim, Erin, and Tracey (and their kids!)... Kristin and Shane's wedding took place on the edge of a lake reflecting the rockies in the background. They both looked fabulous and I think Shane's socks and tevas went well with his suit.
The reception went on until the wee hours and we had a great party before climbing back into the car yesterday morning and driving all the way back to Vancouver.
Next weekend I am back to the lake, then my friend Al the biker (http://www.roundtheworldbybike.com) will be here with his friend Duncan to visit. Yay! Here are a few pics of the last 2 weeks... 2 of me and my bros in San Francisco last week, and a few of the wedding this past weekend.

Great Big Weekend

Had quite a busy weekend. Scott, Lesley and I went for dinner with one Lydia (one of my co-workers) at a great Sushi joint in Japan Town (Kubotos). Jen was supposed to join us, but had her horse almost throw a shoe, and totally forgot about us, while she was busy reshoeing her horse. I don't think she was too upset, as she and Sushi aren't the best of friends. Saturday morning we got up and Scott, and Lesley dragged me into San Jose to do some work on their way to the epitome of Americana: The Baseball game (SF Giants vs. Pittsburgh Pirates). I worked for a bit, biked home (new record...74 minutes. Yes, I shaved off a whole 60 seconds), hooked up with Jen, and immediately turned around and drove back in to San Jose to pick up Lydia on our way up to San Francisco to hook up with Scott and Lesley to go see one of our favorite bands, Great Big Sea, in concert at the Fillmore.

Rough Life In Mexico

Just a sample of what it looks like off of my parent's balcony at sunset....Of course one could ask why they aren't posting these types of things, but my Mom taught me that it wasn't nice to guilt trip people into using incredible website systems that you set up for them. Anyways...enjoy the picture.

It's a tough life eh? This shot just screams Corona and lime :)

Flames 2 - Sharks 0

Forgot to mention this the other night :-)

BTW Biked in from home to work (36 km) in 65 minutes (Avg 32.8 km/h). Not bad considering the last personal best I can remember was 70 minutes or so. There is some room to improve though. Lance Armstrong maintains 40.8 km/h (over the entire Tour De France!!!) which means he could do the same sprint in 53 minutes on a bad day.

I figure if I had the bike he has, I'd easily be under 50 minutes. It's all about the bike. Why are there no sarcasm tags in html? ;-)

View From Casa Leon

In case you already were not quite aware of just how beautiful our little Mexican casa is here are two views from you patio.

I'm old

Last Thursday I turned 30 years old. My incredible wife set up a whole collection of surprises for me, some of which I guessed about in advance, and others which were completely unexpected.
