A Sign of Success?

Stretch limo time, first thing seen this morning looking out front of our house (the silver car across the street belongs to our neighbors downstairs). Perhaps this is a sign of greatness and success to come for us in Vancouver! The Canucks surely returned to great form last night, beating the Calgary Flames in overtime, 4-3! Finally, some groove back in their game. The big game's coming right up, against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. A Pay-per-view for sure, so yours truly and better half will be off somewhere sports-barsy to view the action…

Cool to see that Jon Stewart will be hosting the Academies this coming March! As if Chris Rock wasn't enough last year : )

The program I've started, called Transitions, is awesome. I'm in a group of about 15 other folks out of work for one reason or another, and we're focused on career as well as life-changing potential here. Very powerful stuff. Keeps me busy all week and into the evenings with assignments and reflection, as it's busy during those days (action-packed, lots of handouts each day). The Canadian government even pays for the bus transport costs! Hopefully by the end of this session, I'll either tap into some hidden potential other than graphic design, or decide that being a designer is truly in my blood - and heart - and keep within that vein.

What follows are a few photos from the annual Kits Beach tree-chipping fundraiser event. Man, did the air smell gorgeous from all the pine being recycled!
