Welcome to 2009!

Darcy and I had an enjoyable New Year's Eve by going to two parties that night.  They were withing walking distance so it was very convenient.  It was nice to visit some people that we hadn't seen in a while.  Darcy cooked a wonderful dinner on New Year's Day as we had company that night.  We've been spoiled with having many days off over the last month so it will be tough to get back into the work routine on Jan. 4.  But we shouldn't complain compared to how few holidays we had working in North America!  Below are a few interesting stories....
