can you believe its almost here? i cant believe christmas is almost here either. new year's isn't too far off either. december has flown by. then again so has 2007. its been unreal. i think we'll have a white christmas this year like last year. almost time to munch on the m&m's i got for an early christmas present. thanks to darren for that.

snow day of the nasty ass variety nice day to stay home today. its been snowing and windy all day and highways around most of alberta have been brutal. travel is definitely not recommended. a good day to have a day off. i can imagine how bad the streets are.

nice day to start december yeah, by watching hockey night in canada. right now toronto leads pitsburgh 2-0. columbusw at calgary is the second game of the doubleheader. plus its cold outside. with enough snow on the residential streets, they could be packed enough for a little street hockey. no complaints.
