Merry New Yearmas!

Once again I am rocking the blog with a post rate of about three per year, but at least this time I have something more to report then a one-line bag of lameness. Anyway..
It was a great Christmas and New Years, Raechel came home from Toronto just before Christmas so we had the opportunity to spend it together before the boys came up for the World Junior Hockey Tournament. I took the train down to Toronto mid-December to go to her work’s Christmas party which was an excellent time. Nothing like an open bar at a swanky golf and country club while dressed to the 9’s! Good times.
Speaking of the World Juniors, what a tournament! GO CANADA GO! The win over Russia was amazing, the tieing goal with 5 seconds to go put Scotia Bank Place in an absolute frenzy. The place was electric. We had the full tournament pass and ended up going to 18 games altogether, it was the only way to guarantee a ticket to all the Canada games plus the medal rounds. Besides myself, there was my brother Doug, our friend Doug Facey, along with friends Marshall and Donnie from here in Ottawa. Overall, the tourny couldn’t of turned out any better.
We actually didn’t do much for New Years, after the Canada with over USA we headed home, and after a couple games of Wii we realized it was 12:04am. Whoops! Happy New Year! Couple more beers and some bowling matches later, all hands shut er down.
To end it all off, Brother B and myself headed down to Toronto to see AC/DC at Rogers Center (skydome) and what an amazing show. Cannons going off, fire roaring from the stage and of course Angus’s strip tease is always a classic. They played 4 tracks off their new album plus tons of classics, some of which were staples and a couple rarities you don’t hear every day. I dropped Doug off at the airport the morning after and headed back to Ottawa in record time, gotta love beautiful days and traffic-free highways.
So that’s it for my holidays, good times had by all. This year the plan is to finish up the basement and get the deck/patio done outside, which we still haven’t decided what we are doing yet. Hopefully the winter doesn’t last too long, I’m ready for summer fun already!
GO HABS GO!
