24 medals - and many 4th place finish

Well the olympics are over. And canadians athletes have all done very well. Last week I got an email from Alex and he asked : " In your best opinion, who would you rather be deserted on an island with: An olympic speed skater, or any kind of olympic skiier (any kind)."
Thinking about it, I would definitly have to say skiier.

Olympics and Freezing Rain

I'm proud to be a Canadian. Today, Canada reached a total of 8 medals at the games.

When I get bored at work I log onto CBC olympics and read about the various sports. I enjoy watching and reading about all the sports but my favorites are cross-country skiing and hockey. I've always been interested by cross-country skiing since I ski myself.

The weather has been horrible today. We got rain/snow and freezing rain. Right now there's about 1.5cm of ice on the ground and more to come. During the last 5 weeks, Kingston has received freezing rain on 3 different occasions. What is wrong with this weather? Yeah, I know it's global warming.. blah blah blah.. but what is really being done by indiviuals?

Muskrat

First on today's blog, I have to point out that the title has been changed since there is snow on the ground. Although there is very little snow, it would be wrong to say "snowless".

Everyday when I walked across the bridge, I see this animal in the water with its very long but narrow tail sticking out of the water. I've finally found the correct name of the animal, it's called a muskrat. I'm quite sure that the little creature wants to be recognized by me and become famous. For this reason, I'll give him a name and take picture of him in the weeks to come. First, I'll have to take a picture to prove that he's really a muskrat. This is an image from Wikipedia.

Beautiful Frozen Canal!

This weekend was probably the best weekend to go skating on the Rideau Canal; not only was the weather great, it was also Winterlude. Anyhow, I thought I might share a few picture with all my friends that like to read my blog.Me, posing close to Frank Clair Stadium.

Krystel, skating very well this year.

An instant millionaire?

Ever wonder about the one invention that could make you famous and earn you millions of dollars? Well I have.

Today, while I was reading blogs on bookofjoe.com, I came across the a very ingenous invention for dog owners. It's call the "Go Dog Go" automatic fetch machine. They even have videos on their product in action on their website. It seems to be great, but honestly, it's for lazy people.

My conclusion: It probably works best for a hyperactive dog.
