Today is Monday, meaning I'll be off to coach the little tykes this evening (5 to 6 pm). Some of my friends here refer to them as "sausages on skates" which paints an interesting visual picture. The kids are aged 4-6 so you can imagine what they look like with hockey equipment on. It amazes me that some of them still manage to move. It's always a great time though. Most of them have a lot of fun and are truly trying to learn the sport. There are others in which it is apparent that they don't really care to be there, but we do our best to be enthusiastic with them. It took some time for them to not be afraid of me (the new coach) but I know all their names now and many of them feel comfortable enough to laugh with me. I'm also getting to know some of their parents and other coaches... slowly but surely. (In the picture, that's me in the red jacket giving Sam some pointers.)
Other developments... I have a bit of a cough these days. That's no fun. I've finished all my Christmas shopping finally! Yay!

Hey Krista! Welcome to blogland. I always enjoy hearing/reading about what you're up to. Remember, if you ever need a break from the Vancouver scene and can't make it home, there's a little island not too far away and a house full of kids to distract you! The kids talk about you lots. Especially Danaka.

just for the record, i like the name of your blog. i think you should keep it just as it is... unless you wanna change it to what mike and heidi said.
i like the fact that you coach sausages. just be sure not to fry them up by accident.
