Joey, you are right about Vancouver and the Olympics.  We have family there and when we visited this fall, they were showing all the building for the olympic venues and then proceeded to tell us that they were leaving town during the olympics- that they can easily get &#036;1000 per day to rent out there house...considering they are talking 2 weeks at the least and perhaps more like three with people coming in early etc. Yikes&#33; <br /><br />Andrea...sorry to hear about the fire- glad your friend&#39;s house and horse were fine.  It is amazing how fast your life can change. There is so much we all can be thankful for each day.<br /><br />Jackie- glad things went ok with the 5th wheel. Tony is so handy- you will be pros in no time. But driving it...I can never back up when I am towing anything.  You should see what I do with the little cart pulled behind our tractor. ;-&gt;   Since i am not up to date with everyone&#39;s lives...are working this tax season?  Sounded like it from your comments about being busy.  Good luck&#33;  Paul is going to be at it again as well.  He is also teaching a class this quarter.<br /><br />I agree about the end of the year stuff at work. Closing out the old and getting things set up for a new year means lots to do.  It is also time for me to be writing perf evals.  One of my least favorite things to do and so time consuming. Now that the holidays are behind us, it will be time to jump right in and get busy. I have a new attitude this year...actually tried to start this goal last month and am actually doing pretty good.  Trying to be positive and let the little things go and not let them fester and stress me out.  It seems to be working.
