Canada Trip

Wow! Canada, or at least Vancouver BC, is really cool! We went on a suspension/rope bridge that rocked like crazy, walked in the treetops, and learned how to talk with a fan...well...not really...its was a skit thing they put on. We also went to Grouse Mountain and saw two orphaned grizzly bears, saw flacons, hawks, and owls fly, saw the world-famous lumberjack show (seriously! people from Italy and France were there!), and sat in the Theatre in the Sky! The stuff to do there was awesome! The hotels were kinda weird...there was a shared bathroom kinda like living in a dorm again (good memories). I also have a question for those of you that live in Canada...When my family and I were driving in the streets and going through police checkpoints, sometime the greenlights on the signals were flashing/blinking...what does that signify? Not all the greenlights flashed/blinked, only some did...and it was only the greenlights, not the yellow or red. So what does this mean? This was puzzling us the entire time we were there.
Cheers everyone and hope everyone's doing ok!

P.S. I'll post my pics soon, my SIMUW pics and my Canada pics

Euchre

Hey all,
Just wanted to tell people that there is a website to play Euchre online: www.pogo.com. All you need is a username (which is easy to set up) and you can play any game on their website...probably including Go.
Hope everyone enjoyed the reunion!
Cheers,

Phase Plane!

Wow! The weirdest thing just happened to me! I was helping my dad mow the lawn and the wheels made an impression in the moist grass. When we finished, the impressions looked like a phase plane from Nathan Kutz's class! It was so COOL!!!

Anyways, tell me how the reunion was. I can't make it. My parents already have plans (GRRRR!!)
Cheers,
Kunal

AIM vs. MSN

First of all... I am very glad everyone is using this blog to stay in touch. It makes me feel accomplished. Anyways, in response to Joel's remark about everyone getting MSN, why doesn't everyone get AIM? Its just as good if not better! Plus, you dont have to download it like MSN.
