Here is a video that Amy Perez put
together during my family's trip down to Virginia for the US Thanksgiving
last week. Incidentally, we're still here - enjoying our last evening as
we're heading home tomorrow.
The trip ended up being longer than we anticipated as the Erie, PA and
Buffalo, NY area got slaughtered with snow a few days ago when we had
planned to go home. That's ok though as we just extended our vacation and
had a few more days of fun.
Anyway, i made two pumpkin pies ... CREAMY PUMPKIN PIES actually from a
recipe that my mother gave me. We had fun with it all and Amy and Kevin
grabbed some pictures...

memory now ...
This is really going to bug me now. Fantastic
start.
Oh well, onto more important things.
2. I'm doing some research on all the intricacies of importing a car into
Canada; that is, going down to the US and buying it, and then bringing it
back over the border. It seems like there's a lot of paper work...

So, I'm not all that good at keeping up with blog content like some of
these other lads are. Quite some time ago an old friend of mine from
university, Mark Young
(read his blog since he updates his haha) wanted to do a phone interview
with me for a project of his. The topics were all the stuff I like –
physique competitor type stuff, contest prep, peaking, etc. So in a recent
