Dancing Queen!

Do you remember Thanksgiving, it was that holiday a while back that involved lots of eating delicious pie? Yeah, that one that you ate until you couldn't move and ate some more. Followed up by breakfast pie the next morning, yeah you've got it. So to throw a curve ball in the mix, our Thanksgiving included giving thanks to the Northern sport of ice hockey. The Portland Winter Hawks (Winner Winner Chicken Dinner) were in town (Kent, WA) to play a game against the Seattle Thunderbirds. Yes, they do like birds up here in the NW. Yes, I realize there really isn't a whole lot of thunder in the greater Seattle area. No, I do not know why the Seattle Thunderbirds play hockey in Kent, it seams silly to me too.

So as part of the night's program, they have have an impromptu dancing "Contest" for the fans. It consists of playing bad, 90's music, and putting the single ladies up on the JumboTron while they shake their rump. Speaking of the rump shaking, if you've seen Cameron Diaz doing her butt dance in Charlies Angles, I don't know you nor do I know why you were watching the piece of crap.



(See 0:50 to 1:15) That's approximately what Ky's dance entry was and yes she won (she wasn't in her underwear for the dance).

So here are the photos to document the event, thanks Alicia (or Sheesh as I like to call her).


Ky and her letter of Victory!

And finally Ky performing the Macarena on the Zamboni as she took her Victory laps/prize.

Happy Thanksgiving

I present to you my first ever Pecan Pie, a tad more difficult than my traditional Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pies, but definitely worth the effort. I hope? It's been a while since my last posting on this blog, about a month, not much has happened. So long as you don't count being laid up with H1N1 a.k.a. The Swine Flu. Dah Dah Dahhhhhh!!!! It was pretty debilitating, in fact, I lost over ten pounds of body mass just from not being able to eat, pretty sweet diet if you ask me. One more swine flu and I can be at my winter goal weight. Who is feeling a little ill?

I am still job hunting like Steve Irwin looking for Crocks (still too soon?). I have made the transition from cyclocross back to the road and I am stoked about my Feburary trip to sunny Tucson for some winter cycle training or bike practice as Ky puts it. I am sure there will be more to follow about that at a later date, much more.

In the meantime I bake pies and hit the mountain. So for your enjoyment a few select shots from our recent trip snowshoeing on Mt Hood at the White River Canyon, it was gorgeous to say the least.

Kona shows off his newest gear, Mush Dog snow boots, no more cracked pads for Kona.


Ky and Kona do their thing.


Ky poses all so beautiful in the snow.


Like I said, it was gorgeous!
