Casserole
I have known that men and women think differently, but a quote from a book my wife is reading (Fantasy) really helped illustrate it:
"If women are like a casserole, men are like a TV dinner (global verses compartmental)... Men and women think differently. For us (women), everything is thrown in one big pot. The flavour of one area of our life affects the flavour of every other area. Men, not so much. They can compartmentalize."
Now, my favourite saying when women (like my wife) seem to blend everything together is "Women are like casseroles". You think a topic has been addressed, but two conversations later, it is right there again. That is what I'll write for now... maybe more later.

Canadian Election Debate
Recently I have been drawn into the interesting election Canada is in the middle of. Although I didn't care about elections the past couple of times Canada went to the polls, I'm drawn to this one beacuse of the platforms policies, drama, and the interesting things Canadians are saying about the different parties.
I was also drawn to the second round of English debates. I didn't catch the first round, but the second one was facinating to watch as the leaders traded thoughts, opinions, and barbs at each other. One guy really drew me to watch and that was the NPD leader and his strategy in this debate (and also as a campaign). This guy is smart (strategy wise) as he knows he won't win this election, but is preparing for the next. It will be interesting to see what happens January 23rd, 2006. Go vote! Go Canada!

Happy New Year!
2006! Happy New Year! So, every year I go to a conference in Toronto and ring in the New Year with worship, prayer, and dance party with hundreds of other people from Eastern Canada. It is great fun! This year, the NYE party theme was the 80s... and it was quite eye opening! The 80s, I have decided, was not a pretty decade, but it did bring some great memories including GI Joe, Transformers, Ghostbusters (see pic below), and other notable shows (yes, I was a kid in the decade). What did you do for New Year's?
The sound and physical arrangment team as Ghostbusters!
The Ghostbusters blasting some Pac-Man ghosts
Grezky and the Oilers - definately the 80s...
