Day off tomorrow, high tailed it up to Whistler after work today to catch the Men's Skeleton. Going skiing during the day then Men's and Woman's skeleton final in the evening. That's what I call a day off!

Enjoy your day off! We are enjoying your pictures and news as you can tell by the number of hits the counter has recorded.
Will you be seeing some of our local athletes? Tim Cafe?
