If a Canuck goaltender is weak or fragile, the elder members of the bandwagon will kill and eat it. Thus the circle of life continues.

Hey kids, in addition to driving one of these:



I got my new job and also get to run this:



and this:



As well as one of these:



And best of all, this baby:



Should be a hoot learning all the new equipment, God know I need a change. Training will be about four months, then at least a day or two per set after that.

A link from Rob's blog, some seriously funny stuff. Be sure to check out the blurb re Corey Feldman, man that kid's had it rough. LOL. By the way, Ken here scares the hell out of me! Shivering as we speak!

Followed Lex's link yet again to discover I am:

Haymaker

You are one of life’s enjoyers, determined to get the most you can out of your brief spell on Earth. Probably what first attracted you to atheism was the prospect of liberation from the Ten Commandments, few of which are compatible with a life of pleasure. You play hard and work quite hard, have a strong sense of loyalty and a relaxed but consistent approach to your philosophy.


You can’t see the point of abstract principles and probably wouldn’t lay down your life for a concept though you might for a friend. Something of a champagne humanist, you admire George Bernard Shaw for his cheerful agnosticism and pursuit of sensual rewards and your Hollywood hero is Marlon Brando, who was beautiful, irascible and aimed for goodness in his own tortured way.


Sometimes you might be tempted to allow your own pleasures to take precedence over your ethics. But everyone is striving for that elusive balance between the good and the happy life. You’d probably open another bottle and say there’s no contest.

What kind of humanist are you? Click here to find out.

OK, maybe Cathleen was right all those years ago...I'm and old soul attracted to old tunes. Been listening to a lot of Ray Charles lately, and loving an original fusion I don't recognize in anything new. I know that's a broadly painted stroke from a musical buffon. Regardless, loving these tunes - and thinking more about searching back into my Mother's Mo-town collection. I remember a lot of Ray's songs from when I was wee, wondering what else will spark memories?

Found a Canucks babe to rival Ron's Calgary gals!

Uh oh - got a tip from Lex regarding the avain flu jumping to pigs. Link is above. To quote Lex, we're screwed!

A normal person will keep a gun locked up.....

A nut will wave a gun around..............

A lunatic will shoot himself in the foot...........

A Canuck player will shoot himself in the foot, limp to the store, buy more bullets and shoot himself in the good leg

Thought this was a good description of my Nucks of late...........

My face hurts...constant state of smiles right now. Life is great, Tech Cominco is going to donate a whole ten minutes of my day tommorrow so that the United Way can thank the HVC employees for our charitable contributions (Weyhauser beat us again I belive) with a breakfast in the morning. All the good greasy fixins onto a plate, ate standing up and onto the buses ASAP to get that ore into production. Sounds like I'm complaining, but I'm not. Nothing can ruin the vibe I got going on right now. There are new jobs on the board that have got my name all over em, and some interesting changes higher up the food chain that will (eventually) have some affect on the hierarchy of management. Today was one of the better days I've had at work in ages...Cool! Wait, they did claim to cancel our flu shots because of a vaccine shortage, so I suppose that's something to bitch about. Be willing to bet that the bloody bosses have had their needles. LOL By the way, how many of you would get the shot given the opportunity through work? I'm coming up on my fifth year, have always got the shot, and never suffered the flu. Especially interested in the two Doc's take on this...especially with all the recent headlines

Most of my waking hours of the last three days were spent in the company of someone new. And not that grumpy, brooding voice in my head! Oh, that's just the MP3 playing Dennis Miller jokes! Anyway, I'm living proof that all good things come to those that wait. Occasionaly those things happen to be tall, lithe, clever and very adorable. Expressive eyes that make me melt. Sometimes they're very Scandanavian (with a touch of the Scot in her!)and they enjoy all the same films and pass the Daphne Odjig litmus test. Unlike others I've dated recently, this gal makes me thrilled to see ye olde phone ring. Oh yeah, she smells amazing too...

My nephew's wee un's back home. Love this pic; I won't get to see them til next year, but their Great Papa is booked for Scotland this Christmas. Gonna have to send pressies home in lieu...

The Roberston family pumpkins of 2005...twas a good year!
