The beginning of the year featured mild weather, including sunshine, showers, and rainbows. After suffering a terrible 6-2 loss to Russia early in the tournament, Canada earned both redemption and the gold with a dramatic 4-3 win over the same Russian squad in the World Junior Championship final. In addition to our daily 4.5 km walk of the neighbourhood, we made our first trip of the year up Cobble Hill. The snowfall on the night of January 12 wasn't too much... ...but two nights later we received 36 cm overnight! Local Stacey Bruce captured this image of icicles at the Cow Café. I tend to watch just this one college football game each year; it did not disappoint as the highly touted quarterbacks put on a show. Of course I watched Conor's triumphant 40 seconds long return to the octagon in UFC 246 - WOW! The NFL Playoffs offered plenty of surprises as the Titans unexpectedly eliminated the Patriots and the top seeded Ravens, while the Saints surprisingly bowed out early to the Vikings. I also falsely anticipated the Seahawks beating the Packers. In the end, it will be the 49ers' league leading defence facing the Chiefs' #1 rated offence in Super Bowl 54. Hopefully I'll be able to watch while in Moalboal, Philippines. I'm so spoiled that it often seems that everyday is my birthday, but on the 21st, it really was... Our friend Karyn was gracious and kind in turning our visit on the 24th into a belated birthday celebration for my 47th. The following day I had lunch with family at Brogan's Diner in Langley. There was live singing and they gave me a huge complimentary piece of birthday cake. Afterwards we played a board game together. Someone wore herself out dancing with her big sister. That evening we enjoyed dinner out with June & Auntie Janet. I continue to enjoy watching movies... ...and managed to do a little bit of reading. Today we set off for another adventure!!!
