Ryan Walter from NHL at conference

It was a great conference this weekend. Ex-NHL player and Hall of
Famer Ryan Walter was the guest speaker. He spoke about leadership and
spiritual hunger.

I'm normally not really a ice-breaker game type of guy, but he really
had some great communication games. The builder and architect game was
a great team exercise.

It was also cool having so many fathers and sons there together. I
only brought little T to the last session, but it was cool how the
younger kids were so quick to participate.

He was a great guy, and he had some great old hockey stories. The NHL
in the eighties and nineties sure sounds like an interesting place to
be. Thanks to Ryan and all the other conference organizers for a great
weekend.

JRo's Trip Log - Welcome to the Jungle

Hey all. Jro is sending me constant updates on her trip, so I thought I'd post them here. Hope you're having a great trip sister!

Hey. So here we are in the jungle. Welcome to the jungle *guitar hero GNR*

OK, there's no power here, so no hair driers. No TV, no nothing. At least I don't have to worry about leaving anything plugged in. The place we're staying in is pretty cool, it will be nice to be at the resort in a couple days.

We're walking around aimlessly, Rro is looking for monkeys. Nothing. I swear our quest for monkeys is going to get us lost. If he doesn't find a monkey soon things are going to get ugly.

But what there is a lot of is birds. They are everywhere, and they are crazy. They're big, they're colourful, and they're mean. I thought this would help, but so far it's just starting to give me an anxiety attack. If another one flies at my head I might poop myself. It's probably because my hair is starting to look like a nest.

Anyways, I think the birds are getting into my stuff. Later.

Js Trip Log - Day One

Hey all. Jro is sending me constant updates on her trip, so I thought I'd post them here. Hope you're having a great trip sister!

Hey. We arrived last night in Seattle, and got to the airport quickly. I did my hair at the terminal, but by the time we boarded the plane it was frizzy and screwed up.

So we sat down prepped for the long flight, video ipod in hand. The lady won't give us extra peanuts, and there are a bunch of stupid old magazines to read. Rro won't even fork over for a soda, so all we have is little bottles of booze. Now he's half-drunk and belligerent - I thought that was my job.

Did you hear about that squirrel that went crazy on that US flight? Man, if that was me I would never fly again. Crazy squirrels.

Anyways, excited, we'll be there soon. Sixteen hours soon.

Spring camping at Evans Lake

So we went on our third camp this weekend at Evans Lake. It was
awesome as always - Evans Lakes is beautiful, and Mark runs a great
camp.

It's usually quite rainy, but the sun was out all weekend.
Unfortunately the wife was a bit sick, and we had to leave early. Who
brings a one month old baby to camp anyways?

One of my favourite moments was sitting by the water with little D
talking about life, nature and the mysterious underwater Galactapus.
