There's cold in them thar' hills...

A view from the street outside our house this afternoon. Yes that is snow! I've got a 24hr race up there in two weeks. Please be gone by then!

Vallarta Chamber Orchestra

Here is the orchestra that keeps me out of trouble during those winter months here in Puerto Vallarta. We are performing March 20 and 21 for anyone that wants to fly in for a little culture...

Hit the local Hortons...

At least this shows that the Canadian Military has their priorities right.

Silly Virus Facts

So I've been keeping track of viruses that have been blocked by the mail server and thought people may find this interesting. Since Feb 12th (so 20 days or so) the mail server has blocked 115 viruses. Of the 115:

89 were sent to shannon (78%)
20 were sent to mary (17%)
5 were sent to dave (4%)
and 1 was sent to shelley (1%)

Interestingly, of the ones sent my way, 3 were sent to david, and 2 were sent to dave. I NEVER use david, so I'd be interested in knowing who has me as david in their address book.

About 50% of them came from somebody in Bahrain. Anybody know anyone in Bahrain? If so, please tell them that spewing out virus email is not cool. Friends don't let friends send viruses :-)

Grandma's Birthday

Grandma Anderson recently celebrated her 90th birthday. Happy birthday, Mom, Grandma, and Great-Grandma! You look fabulous.

My name is Keira and I am....

Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada or America
although I'm certain they're really really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, and a President.
I speak English and French and American.
And I pronounce it 'mmmm', not 'a boot' or 'about' for that matter.

I can proudly sew one of my countries flags on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, and policing,
diversity, and assimilation,
and that the beaver and eagle are both truly proud and noble animals
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced 'zed' and 'zee'!!!!

Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey! (except when Sweden takes gold)
and a large part of North America

My name is Keira!!
And I am a dual citizen!!!
Keira's citizenship papers finally arrived, so she's now officially a dual citizen. We're surprised they gave her her papers considering that photo. How can a 2 wk old look so hungover? It must have been a really rough night.

Congratulations Julie!

We're all thrilled that you're going to be an exchange student at UBC next year! Of course we never doubted it for a minute, we knew that you were the best candidate. :) I'll bet Brennan is happy about it too!!!
