from the top of the first page We made it! It's f.e.b.r.u.a.r.y., and you know what that means. The year 2006 is gonna be smooth sailing from here. Time to stop wallowing in the post-holiday, mid-winter slump, and get active with some exercise and plans for the year. Good-bye lawsuits (right, Pammy?), good-bye extra pounds, good-bye lethargy, good-bye depression. Hello fitness, hello pep, hello enthusiasm, hello possibility.

Okay, before I get carried away with all the gayness, here is the first plan for the coming months. At least, it's the first planned adventure. I reserve the right to have unplanned and unannounced adventures prior to this one.

Come one, come all, to Vancouver for the Third Annual West Coast Clam Bake celebrating the birthday of froo and me. It's the "third" annual even though I was in L'ville last year. froo went without me and celebrated with Kris and Tannis and Andrew (he's our step-bro). The event shall be held between March 30 and April 2, and shall consist of random unplanned side-adventures in addition to the obvious partaking of beers and wines. Further particulars to follow as we iron out the details. Kris and Tannis, consider this your advance warning; please make plans to entertain us (heh).  | ¶ 5:33 p.m.
