We Win - I never win anything

Our 10 pin bowling team "Split Happens" clinched the Prince George Wednesday night league title last night. This of course has nothing to do with my not bowling for 9 weeks due to injury. This is also quite probably my first "sporting" success since 1983 when I last won a judo competition (I gave up Judo shortly afterwards as things were becoming too serious and I had to start strangling people or be strangled). Anyway, there will be no doubt some celebration and the pressure will be off for the last two matches now the title is in the bag. I shall miss my team-mates when it's all over:

BH "I never high 5 with my bowling hand"
GT "It's all in your head, just think of nothing"
RM "The_____* put me off"
and TB "I've just got to pop out during the last game, I'LL BE BACK IN 20 MINUTES"

Cheers guys, it's been a blast.

Birthday Boy

D turned 9 while last week. Amongst other things he received a hockey jersey emblazoned with the name of his favourite player Daniel*Sedin. His birthday tea was at Vancouver's famous chocolate buffet at the Sutton Place Hotel where he also received a surprise birthday cake. After overdosing on chocolate desserts in too many styles to mention, we won't feel the need to return to the buffet for quite some time.

Cafe Culture

Last week was school Spring Break so the we all flew down to Vancouver for a city break. There was lots of shopping and fine dining and a trip to the science museum. Purely by coincidence it was "Macaron Week" in Vancouver. I wonder who decides these things. The City Chamber of Commerce? The Mayor? or perhaps the Local Guild of Patissiers? (Is there even such a thing?).

Welcome back - I think

I'm back at work, and people are being very nice to me. Someone even baked me a cake to say "Welcome Back" or "Has Balls" or something like that. Still the sentiment was there and it tasted good so who am I to complain?

What I ended up with...

If you've been reading K's blog you may have come across odd rumours pertaining to myself on the subjects of "skiing accident", "spinal fracture" and "surgery" all of which are unfortunately true. I'm glad to say that I've now recovered after 7 weeks off and am now back at work and doing most things again. Recovery takes time and I shan't be skiing again this season but hope to next. Now I'm back at work, I shall be posting more regularly.
