    The rest of my family is all about doing stuff during the day and aren't big on doing things in the evening.... So family stuff during the day and me time during the evenings.

    Aside from the wedding and a bit of badminton, my priority is to hit the beaches to play some vball especially during the long weekend. My conditioning and stamina has improved drastically from playing beach vball.. That's why i enjoy tiring out my opponents in singles cause i believe i can outlast them all.

    if i had to rank:
    1) sister's wedding
    2) beach vball (seriously...there's more girls that play beach vball then badminton...plus they usually wear bikinis)
    3) badminton (i'll be happy with playing on 2 separate occasions)

    here in toronto...one beach: 80+ beach vball courts...that's a whole lot of ppl...and a whole lot of bikinis...:D

    i think the max # courts in the vancouver beaches is about 10

    Off to the airport! later

    DH, sorry I can't join you and whoever might be showing up at VRC on Wednesday with my brother wood_22_chuck. She-who-must-be-obeyed :(has mandated that we go see the fireworks show tomorrow... not much else needed in the way of excuses, I think. :)

    Lady Voldemort? Sorry..was reading Harry Potter 7 on my flight. No problem and no need for excuses. We'll see how it is wednesday.

    Kits beach and Spanish banks are on my todo list for this trip..My brother-in-law is using me as an alibi/excuse to play a lot of beach vball this week =) he'll show me the ropes.

    Hey, I just realized that if you guys go early enough you can play in the mixers. That's been livelier of late, although the caliber of players has been a bit of a mixed bag. :confused:

    Lady Voldemort? Heh! She's scarier when she's mad, so...:D

    VRC was jammed and packed on Wednesday night when I arrived at 10:15 PM. It was great to see Master DH again. Hopefully, he can spend more time playing baddie for Christmas.

    Master Chris, I try not to do overnight string jobs. The body is getting old. School and work get affected also.

    Thanks

    Hey Darth;

    Thanks for all the games we had this week. It's amazing to see you use the dark force to control the game and win! Hearing the humming sound from your racquet when you swing was quite a treat. Hope to see you this coming Christmas holiday season and may the force be with you always.

    I'm still alive!! My week in Vancouver was so busy i only had time to play at VRC wednesday for mixer night and Sunday morning (day after wedding) at Yumo. I hope you all had fun cause i sure did and am looking forward to heading back during the xmas holidays (C1/C2 New Year's Invitational anyone?). Don't worry Pete, I'll definately check out the Alpha Mount. Not too sure if i'll stay for a FULL string job AGAIN, but i'm definately interested in seeing part of a job.

    Cheers
