Update December 17th, 2008: Just got back from TL Night at GM Place and the Canucks pulled out a win vs the Oilers. To celebrate the good vibes this evening I’m promoting this post to the top of my site until tomorrow and including some photos of the banner ceremony.

Update December 21, 2008: I’ve promoted this post to the front page of my site in honor of the 20cms of snow we’ve received over the last 24 hours. When I was younger we would get some real snow days – the kind where you’d spend all day in your one-piece snow suit and only […]

Warren Kimmel and Amy WallisPhoto by David Cooper In the car on the way to The Stanley this evening to see Disney’s Beauty and the Beast my sister had to fill me in on the story. Being the mother of four children she can pretty much recite any Disney movie by heart (and she knows […]
