Well, the Canucks have made it obvious that they can't win games consistently. So Matt and I are going to go see a team that can.
Anyone want to come to the Vancouver Giants game with us on Wednesday night? Drop me a comment or an email and we'll set something up.
They're Smart!

Many people have questioned the intelligence of dolphins over the years, but I'm not one of them. If they're not intelligent, then someone needs to explain to me why they're the only other mammal on Earth that has sex for recreation.
And although the video after the jump does
not show dolphins having sex, it does show them having fun in an unmistakable way. Really kinda cool to see, this really seals the deal when it comes to asking if dolphins are intelligent.
But wait! There's more!
I Gave In

It's official. I am now a Crack-head.
Yes, I have a crackberry. May the Gods have mercy upon my soul.
Did Anyone Notice?

...That yesterday, at 5:00 pm, there was still light out? Gone are the days of Arctic existence, where the darkness reigns till after you start work, and starts again before the workday is done.
Soon to come (in 48 days, to be precise) is daylight savings. It's almost time to go out and play.
Ambulances

Dear Mr. Pedestrian;
Please note that when an ambulance comes roaring down the road with sirens wailing and lights flashing, that usually means it's an emergency. Continuing to casually meander across the road in front of said ambulance, when traffic does not provide the driver with a way around you, is a) dangerous, b) beyond inconsiderate, and c) ignorant. The flipping the bird at the driver for honking at you? Infantile.
I hope you don't get run over by anyone. Have a nice day.
Regards,
Me
On Past Relationships
07 January 2008 - 20:52.
I was talking with a friend yesterday, and at one point there was mention of past relationships, and "The One That Got Away". And I've hardly been able to get that topic out of my head since, so I figured I'd better expunge the notion by venting my psyche.
Over the years I've had different girlfriends who for one reason or another didn't work out, and the termination of it was sometimes my idea, sometimes hers. Where it was my idea to break up, there was some factor in play that made me think that the relationship was not one I could spend my life in. There was some sort of deal breaker. But that doesn't mean that I don't still think of the person, and smile. But the situation dictated that we couldn't stay together, no matter how much I may have wanted to.
Then on the other side of the coin are the ones that broke up with me instead. Some of those were ugly, messy, or otherwise antagonistic. And a couple were just damn painful. It would seem that this is where the idea of the One would come from, wouldn't it?
So who is the one that got away?
But wait! There's more!
Dealing

So when someone has a wonky back (not me for a change), skiing is often considered "not the best idea". The alternative? Poker.
I was pleased to have not been fleeced last night. In fact, I finished to the positive by about $5. Hardly mortgage money, but it'll buy my coffee this morning when I leave for rowing....
...And Happy New Year!!

The flip side of New Years in our family was that we would also find one another again shortly after midnight, to wish each other a Happy New Year. Seems like a lot of needless chatting sandwiched around a particular strike of a certain hour on a specific date, doesn't it? But I guess that's how some traditions are born.
And keeping in line with it all, let me also wish you a Happy New Year. May the year to come be better than the last, and may you achieve all those things you set out for yourself.
