Canada Gold

(picture used without permission)

18th straight win at the World Junior Hockey Championships and Canada comes home with the gold medal for three years running.

Normally I'm not that much on following hockey but I must say I was thouroghly impressed with our team at the WJHC. I watched both of the last two games. The shoot out to determine the winners between U.S. and Canada left me on the edge of my seat. But as well, watching the final minutes of the last game deciding the gold medal between Russia and Canada was riviting. A six man powerplay with Russia pulling thier goalie to attempt to even the score and take the lead. Canada won with a final score of 4 to 2. That brightened my day.

I spent about $300.00 today getting a gym membership and some good running shoes. Its high time to get myself back into shape. I need to improve my endurance and get rid of some of my weight. Ideally I'd like to drop about 15 pounds (7 kilos). I plan on getting the full worth of my money and putting myself in the best shape that I can. First thing they say though is to take a picture of yourself before you start so that you can see the results later on. I'll post that picure later.

Played a few games of Uno over the web with Sunjoo this morning. She won more often than I. It is great that technology keeps making communicating overseas easier. We are often on msn together via web cam. This has definately allowed our relationship to grow as we learn more and more about each other.
