What do you want for Christmas? A couple of years ago our family decided it was too expensive and not really worth it to buy for every single person so we took to drawing names. Of course we all still get something for the kiddies – and in our family that number grows every year. […]

Surrounded by Monday Night Football fans, J.J., John and I waited patiently for Alanah and Dave to join us after the Oiler-spanking we incurred last night. Luckily, we got our reactions on tape for Episode 10 of The Crazy Canucks Podcast. Ten episodes into the podcast, all of the members join up after the game […]

Jen is my big sister and yes, my mother used to dress us in matching clothing (exhibit A is to the right). She and I argue(d) over clothing, friends, and just because we needed something to do. We’d always know how to do the most damage on each other (physically and emotionally) yet – we’ve […]

Yesterday was World AIDS Day. In Vancouver, there were services and campaigns to help raise awareness [AIDSVan]. Around the world, nations and communities marked the day, whether it was by handing out red ribbons or massive public demonstrations. …The need for additional treatment and prevention programs, health officials say, remains staggering.

I should have added this to the post yesterday when talking about A Christmas Story [imdb]. Courtesy of You Tube, the spoof ad by Cingular. Thanks to Chris for reminding me.

I’d like to think that we do our part throughout the year to help those less fortunate or at least donate our time (since we don’t have much money) to help others. You could say that John and I do that every weekend and I suppose doing all those fun runs (Run for the Cure, […]

The streets around our house are in perfect road hockey conditions, inspiring us as we cruise into Episode 9 of The Crazy Canucks podcast. Our boys keep us going on a roller coaster ride only a true Canucks fan can appreciate. A win in Detroit, a disgrace in Nashville and follow up embarrassment in Colorado […]

Update: Metroblogging’s running post about all the “7 Gifts” from every Metroblogging City around the world! My “for:Miss604” tag on del.icio.us is pretty full of articles and web bits that John’s been sending me lately. I’m just catching up on my reads and getting to some of my feeds this morning. Something worth checking out […]
