Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.

BR - Can you poke around and see if the ice carving is happening in Vernon this weekend? If so, let me know when you get back so I can get current
contact info to them for next year. (Staring up on my bookshelf at the People's Choice Award from 2008 or 2009 I think.) Took a break when we were
pregnant with Anna and need to get my name back in the loop.
