I love adventures, events and gatherings. I grew up as a bit of a sofa surfer and realized a few years back that I can't live like that forever. Heck - I spend too much time in front of this computer already! So, whenever I travel to a new place, take off for a vacation, or experience something different, I try to put it in writing. Sometimes there are pictures... but more often than not, after I'm done, the only things that are left are the words.
Date Activity
May 2005 I'm headed back to school!
For the next 2 years I'm going to be spending every waking hour of my life thinking about April 2007... why is it that time seems to stand still when you're really hoping it will fly by?? I mean really... it's been 3 weeks now... it should be over!
February 2005 Wo Jai Walt... Ni Ne?
Yes... I'm learning Mandarin... it's slow but very cool. Just think -- someday those poor billion people are going to have to listen to me rant and rave... I wonder if their philosophers saw this day coming :)
November 2005 US Election
I was lucky enough to spend election night with my brothers and mother in Boston... it was a tough loss -- but a great story!
July 2004 Democratic National Convention
How much trouble can you cause when your brother works for a man who's running for the job of President of the United States of America? I went to boston to find out.
Summer 2004 "The Summer of '69"
My goal this summer is to shoot 69 (or better) on my home course -- Victoria Golf Club. My best score is 71. If you think I've fallen off the face of the earth, I'm probably golfing.
May 2004 Women of Distinction Awards
I tossed my hat into the volunteer realm yet again. This time as the technical producer for the women of distinction awards for the YM/YWCA. This was the 6th time I've done it -- and the most fun. I've put some pics up to show what happened.
Winter 2003/04

Hockey Adventure
After watching a Vancouver Canucks game in October, I decided that I wanted to score a goal in hockey. One challenge -- I don't really know how to skate -- and I've never shot a puck in my life. "How hard can it be?" I thought to myself. Well... I found out.

February 2004 Mexico Trip
I took a few days out to visit Kristy in Playa del Carmen. I had the best time of my life. I'm not sure if it was the company or the atmosphere... regardless -- I can't wait to go back!
November 2004 Buying a New Car
I keep cars way too long. I'm trying to find a replacement... here's how I've done so far.
September 2003 Nantucket Trip
The Nicholson boys invaded this little island known for abundant wealth and sophistication. It never had a chance. Notes coming soon!
