Dreaming of a white Christmas and then having it come true... Fantastic!Despite how cold, and windy it was at the Bird on Sat. the snow conditions and company were well worth the stay. Plus the new sticks seemed to get the job done just right.
Matt and Kady join us from Switzerland this week which makes me very excited to spend some quality time over the holidays with the family. Festivities at Shan's parents house Christmas eve and morning, then to mine that evening. Skiing all weekend and the following week. What more could you ask for!
Happy holidays everyone.

I spent the majority of my day at work, not at work. After the account folks took an afternoon for lunch, we, the creatives, decided to do the same. So today we had lunch at a little Tahi place downtown and then spent a few hours at the Body Worlds exhibit at The Leonardo. Shan thought it would make me sick seeing that I'm a bit uneasy when it comes to the medical scene, but I think it only has to do with needles, and IV's.
The exhibit was fascinating! I've always been amazed or in other words, overwhelmed, confused, in awe, dumb founded... by the human body. It's truly amazing what has been packaged nicely underneath our skin, and it's too bad there are so many of us who take it for granted. As complex as we are, it's really not much to ask to take a little time and eat something healthy and do something active once in a while. (sorry about that little tangent)
As I made my way through the exhibit, there was one particular space that really caught my attention. In a separate room where no one seemed to whisper a word, were displays of the birth cycle. In separate tubes from 4 weeks to 9 weeks, the growth periods were represented. Having now seen this and knowing what a baby actually looks like at only 4 weeks, my hear goes out to all mothers out there who have experienced a miscarriage. Having been there ourselves, I only wish I could have been by Shannon's side as the inevitable happened. Those of you who have been though this, I'm truly sorry and hope that over time you've received the support and care you deserve.
To sum it up.. it was some pretty fascinating visuals of an extremely fascinating system. If you haven't been, I strongly recommend it.

Once again the Sweeds get it done. Check out this site and test your skills. I was well above average which makes me begin to question the Swedish Armed Forces.

Shan and I took to the hills today armed with our showshoes and very happy dog. I'm still waiting for a set of bindings to mount up on the new sticks, so there was no skiing today. Hopefully soon though. Regardless, it was time well spent with the family.
Check out this guy... it's a good thing we weren't crossing the road 30 sec. later.
