an amateur attempt at the blog phenomenon and a way to give people an idea of life in whitehorse, yukon, sarah and jole style...

gone back north

well, our recent trip to vancouver was a success. one dinged car, lots, of miles, some weight gained (me not sarah), much sushi consumed, tons of visits with the fam, and 2004 brought to a close. it was great to be in vancouver to see everyone we miss so much.

it's been a big year for us with sarah graduating with her education degree and the move to whitehorse, not to mention the second 24 hour relay, the kneeknacker, and the other assortment of people we visited and things we did. we hope we can match it with an even more exciting 2005. our cross country skiing adventures are going to continue and we've volunteered with the wheelchair basketball and special olympics. we're especially looking forward to the yukon quest dogsled race, the sourdough rendevous, the kluane chiklat bike relay, the river trail marathon and the melting of the snow. (winter is not without it's charms but...) stay tuned for our further adventures.

having been back to vancouver for a couple weeks, it brought to mind many things that i miss about "home". but then the yukon isn't so bad either so i've decided that a top-10 list is in order. actually 2 top-10 lists. the top 10 things about living in vancouver and the top 10 things about living in the yukon.

follow along as the two cities duke it out for city supremacy! who will win?

It was nice to see you guys again.

Since you've left I've discoverd a lot of new things about the Yukon:

1. I learned a little about the geography from the map you left us...it all equates to a few dots scattered around a huge, empty area.

2. I've also learned a lot from the Yukon game you gave us, which I assume is equivalent to the Game of Life but with a Yukon twist. After playing for a while you realize that getting to the gold is a harrowing task filled with hardships and pitfalls. Also, anyone who is losing becomes bitter and mean spirited and will stop at nothing to prevent you from winning. I also learned that gambling for money and courage points must be an acceptable form of work in the Yukon. All in all...a pretty good game.


Hope to see you again soon.
