Birthday

Birthday #2. How cool is that? She is getting so grown up. Talk about a birthday that focuses on a cartoon character? This was a Dora-fest. Dora shoes, Dora pants, Dora dolls, Dora stickers. Even a Dora cake.

I think I have a new most favoritist sound - the sound of my daughter whispering in the morning. Whenever someone whispers to her she tends to whisper back, unless it is in a meeting but that is another story...Her little voice in the morning about melts my heart. It could be, "I'm sweeping (ie sleeping)," or "I need my blanket," or "Where's Mommy?" Nothing like being a father.

On another topic - what's up with the Canucks? Went to the game last night with Adam from the school here and had a great time. Sat beside and in front of some loud Canucks fans which made me feel at home. We scored the first goal but the Flames tied it up in the second. Great second period filled with end to end rushes. However, in the third the Flames got two to end the game in the last five minutes. Okay, you don't judge a team by their pre-season game but I was still a bit disappointed by the lack of speed from a few of the new faces. Hopefully they will put together a competitive team this year that allows for lots of excitement. Calgary is looking good, though. How about Tanguay and Iginla. How much better can it get? Should make for some good entertainment.
