So it is Family Day in Alberta. The government has been so nice to give us a day off from working to spend the day with the ones that we love. Unfortunately my family has all decided to defect and run away. My big brother Jer and his wife Kim decided to go and hang out in Austria, Steve ran away to Tiawan to try and teach the locals english, Keith said enough of this I am heading to Banff to go skiing, and my parents went dog sledding in Canmore… I tell you, life is pretty rough for them! Well I hope that they are enjoying themselves. I love my family and the fact that they are so adventurous, it sure makes life more interesting. Even my mom continues to surprise me, for example last summer she did a 40km backpack trip with us. I sure do love my mom!
Well so not much to do today, kinda bored… so what do when you are bored with not much to do…. well here is an idea make websites about you friends with you roommate (well Craig did most of the work… okay like 90% but the 10% of input I put in was really good 😉 ). To start here is a dedication to Dustyn! Hope you all enjoy it, especially you Dustyn.

Last night I went ice skating at Hawrelak Park with Craig and a bunch of people that he knows. Skating is good fun, and a great winter activity. I actually find it quite relaxing cruising around on the ice, feeling the cool winter breeze on your face. Ahh.. good times. Well at any rate Craig and I were trying to develop new things to be incorporated with skating and what we came up with is break dance skating.

I am sure that it is going to take off, it is only a matter of time.

Movies… well we are working on our next eXtreme ski video, but in the mean time we are looking for some ideas for a regular video. Say a drama or a documentary like “The Tough Life: growing up in a middle class family.” Let’s have some ideas.

Went tobogganing last night, it was good times. Went with a bunch of the Skate Church staff volunteers. There is nothing quite like flying uncontrollably down an icy slope.

Well look at those Oilers. They aren’t doing as well as some would hope, but I just found out the following…
“This year, the Edmonton Oilers have taken over the top spot, being ranked #1 in the NHL by hockey fans everywhere, and #8 overall. Most impressively, however, the Edmonton Oilers have been rated the overall #1 Bang For Your Buck in all of professional sports! – ESPN SPORTSNATION Rankings”
Well what do ya know.

Hello Stranger! Well I have been told that I do not post enough on this site, and really I think that is probably true. So here is something, even if it is full of nothing. I guess I wish I had something exciting of witty to share but alas all I have today is this photo:
I like this photo and find that evokes a peaceful and content feeling within. Does this remind you of anything or anywhere??
Well that is all for today, I am going to try and be more diligent in my postings, I guess we can only wait to see what will happen.
Cheers!

Well I am finally back on skis. Just over 2 and a half weeks without skiing. It went good. I am not experiencing any extreme pain at least.
Also this last weekend was Brooke’s birthday. We were suppose to go Karaokeing, but instead we played sardines in the main house followed by spoons. The last time I remember playing sardines was in Junior High and it was only so you could get close to girls in the dark. 🙂 This time the only girls that found me screamed and ran away. Bit of a let down until my wife found me. LOL

Well I have update some more pics. Some Scenery and just Random Pictures of Tauernhof. I have also added a new album that includes a few pics of our Beetle, which is for sale. It’s a fun car, but we are here and unable to use it and the money from the car could be better used on our trip.
Next week I will also be skiing so hopefully I can put up some more action shots. As well we are suppose to be going touring soon so I will see if we can’t put together a quick video with some highlights.

Well my life in the kitchen is slowly coming to a close. I just thought I would share a couple more shots of me working.
Nasty Onions! You need to wear the proper protection.
