Globe just got a little warmer - sorry Al

After many dangers, toils and snares, we finally have our car, licensed, insured and road ready! We are the proud owners of a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. This car was made possible by the hard work of my good buddy Mark Loeppky of FFUN fame. Another key piece in the transaction was Mike Calpin of West Edmonton Hyundai.

There were a few bumps in the process, but it's all worth it now. So we have gone from being a very environmentally conscious family that took public transit and walked - and did not own a car - to a very regular family with an SUV for the kid's soccer equipment.

To celebrate this momentous occaison we went for japanese food, followed by gelato. Felicia has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and so has to go pretty easy on the sugar.

was a pretty busy day. Had a failed meeting with a friend at 9:00 - we both got the day mixed up, although we were at the same coffee shop at 9:00 on different days.

Had sushi with a guy named John who found out about first@night through a very cryptic way. A wedding in Toronto and a serendipitous conversation led to us eating chicken teryaki on granville street. He's quite a bright fellow with political aspirations, which is cool.

Then, my bi-monthly meeting with some other urban church planters. There is such a great sense of camaraderie, support and affection amongst us - it's really great.

Revolver - I was listening to this Beatles album on my ipod while dodging rain-drops today. Man - what a great album. Them Beatles sure knew a thing or two.
