Here is a post by Fretz, a family friend,  who really covered a lot of ground in terms of who mom was and what she did. Awesome that she had such an impact on others like this, well, I guess I figured, but its great to read about it as well: http://pickfretzsbrain.blogspot.com/2010/01/legacy.html She was also a very enthusiastic audience member, with literal bells and whistles. Every time I return home for KBHL Hockey, I hear a ringing in my ears.

Canada has broken lots of records this winter games, most golds by a country in an winter olympics ever, and most by Canada for overall medals as well.  The Canadian olympic committee has to rethink their silly mid games announcement that Canada failed at ‘own the podium’. Maybe we didn’t get most overall medals but we certainly owned the podium with gold. You can read my previous post on that silly press conference announcing to the world IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAMES that our strategy failed. Super lame, Canada has done awesome this olympics. GO CANADA GO! And the mens hockey game gold, what an amazing finish to the games, so exciting, we got to watch it with half of our church on a projected big screen before our big church business meeting....

We have rabbit ears for an antenna, we don’t want to waste money on cable or satellite. So, we get 2 channels decently on our  TV and CTV (the Olympic channel) is not one of them.So last night for the big Canada – Russia game, I hooked up my versatile Macbook to the TV and watched the CTV live feed fulll screen, it actually worked quote well. It got choppy at points but worked real well for streaming live video over the Internet, especially considering that there were likely millions watching it online, hundreds of thousands at least. Anways, it worked out! There is something special about the Olympics and watching team canada play, any team country sport is a lot of fun.  For whatever reason, its more than a game at that point, its a pride thing,...

Played hockey tonight, we did lose. My back had been sore and such from driving from Ontario, sitting in a car for 14 hours in one day, then sitting all day every day for work and then sitting on a couch watching TV when I wasn’t working. None of that was good, slouching all day, never getting good stretches or exercise. Then tonight, I got to play hockey for the first time in 3 weeks and now I feel great. I think when you exercise your body ‘drugs’ you up as it starts to heal all the ‘wear and tear’ that just occurred in your body, adrenaline and such. Thats natural automated medicating, God creates great stuff eh! Now I feel great, stretched,exercised, had my heart rate up for 60 minutes straight basically. Excellent work out, and...

Its been a couple days since I blogged,.. wow, thats a long time for me Weekend can get busy for us I guess, in a way… Lindsey worked all saturday, I did nothing but working on my ‘secret’ project (to be launched maybe in the next 2 weeks depending on how much time I can devote to it). Worked um,… like 10 hours straight, heads down. Made great progress… anyways, thats not the point of the blog. Played hockey saturday night, 10pm game, that was grrreat! Got a few assists at least, fabulous exercise it was, we lost 8 to 7 or something like that, was a back and forth game. Man I love hockey, best sport in the world! Just love the finesse of the game, making a good move, beating an opponent, gliding down the ice, rushing up the ice. I...
