Happy New Year!! The old year is behind us and 2009 is finally here. With the new year comes new (or old) resolutions, a new president, a new economic year, a new view, a clean slate and of course all its uncertainty. Tram and I vacationed in Vancouver a couple weeks ago. Turns out we were there to witness their first white christmas since 1971. I posted most of the pictures on the picturespage. Vancouver was a very beautiful city and you could almost mistaken it for a normal American city. Since we were there during a major snow storm, most of the tourist attractions were either closed or had limited access. I'm sure the city would be a lot better during Spring or Summer since most of the tourist attractions involve being outdoors.

In sports, the Kings are one of the worst teams in the league at 8-26. Even with the coaching change, the players are still not getting it done. The divisional playoffs for NFL are next week with the Steelers playing the Chargers for a conference spot. The Australian Open begins in 2 weeks. In rec sports, Arnel's Jokers begin the season with a 2 game losing streak. Parkhurst's Kings are 1-2 and will begin play after the break this week.
