EVERYBODY LOVES A LITTLE WIND BURN!!

Happy Wednesday to everyone, if you're wearing a hat outside TIE IT DOWN...because it will fly away and then you would be toque-less on a very cold January day and no one likes that.

So now it's winter and it is really incredibly fun and fantastic and full of fun trips and events...(the alliteration would only go so far) So yes, please check the calendar because I've just posted a bunch of events coming up in February, including skating this Friday night at city hall. Should be brilliant, i've heard the air will be crisp and the snow will have fallen so it'll be picturesque until our toes get cold at which point we'll head into the Brew Pub for some hot chocolate. Cool? Ryley has promised there will be prizes...i'm not sure for what...but i'm in.

Enjoy the rest of your weeks everyone and come on our skating on Friday night!

(International students are able to get skates from the QUIC and otherwise try Source for Sports downtown or start asking around....everyone has housemates who have skates and never use them)

ciao all....

a thought for the day? still thinking.......
