This weekend The Boys got together and exchanged our Christmas presents.
The Boys is our small group that has been friends since we went to high school together. We are the dudes with the puzzle piece tattoos.

In this game we had to do a little math to get to pick from The Beignes presents. If "fourteen-teen" doesn't ring a bell you should check out this video.

I got to shoot a bit of poker stuff for my stock portfolio.

Thanks fellas!

Song of the Day: Venite Adoremus (Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him)

Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum!

It's not that weird that I would have Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him as my SOD today, but the Latin version?!?

Merry Christmas Everybody!

We got a funny call last night from my sister, Sarah Jane. "Would you like to come with Mom and me to see the Holiday Train.  You'll have to hurry and get dressed" **Note to non-Canadian readers: Getting dressed at this time of the year means long-johns, ski-pants, layers of fleece, 2 kinds of gloves and a double layer of hats - a toque and a fleece hood - getting "dressed" for winter.

We went to the bridge on Hwy 59 and saw the train come in, then drove down to the old CPR station down by the Tube to join in with the crowd.  One of the box cars opened up and there was a full stage with lights inside.   I didn't catch the name of the group of women singing (they said they were from Newfoundland, a little research tells me it was probably Ennis) but Colin Linden was one of the guitar players.

The Holiday Train has been going across Canada and the northern United States, stopping in communities to help bring in food and money for local foodbanks since 1999.
  
I think that's a brilliant idea.

Hey,
There are some pictures up of Christmas.

(lots of practice with my new flash & lightsphere!)

I really like the Core 77 design blog. 

They just released their 77 Design Gifts Under $77.  It is pretty great!  These pictures are some of my favourites.
