Cat: Below is a picture of my dumbface (Presti) that I took on Saturday night. Presti's hobby is to pounce on and attack Zoe the elderly white cat. Zoe's hobby is to freak out when Presti the young orange cat jumps on her.

FlevOnIce Video: I don't remember if I linked to the Flevonice 16 dec 2007 video. One of my friends sent the link in an e-mail. I have NO idea what they're talking about in the video as it all sounds like jibberish to me, but I do understand and also love the crunching and clapping sounds.


Denny Morrison Site: Check it out; Denny Morrison- all about Canadian speed skater Denny Morrison.

More On Hong Kong's Santas: The thread SANTA CLAUS SKATE Hong Kong has comment from Bill Begg that I like; he says 'Don't anyone ever tell me that they cant promote & develope speed skating as they do not have the facilities... The Indoor rink Choca this morning 20 meters by 16 meters, with two poles in the middle... The outdoor rink a 75 meter slippery concrete one with the end slopping the wrong way at the ends, to allow the water to drain off, go more than 10 kmph & you have to be a magican to get around the corners.... The worlds least facilities, but the organization & enthusiasm shown by checker sport Officials & skaters, is 2nd to none' and he goes on to write 'Well I nearly chocked on the fluff from the wiskers getting down my throat... this ring in Santa Claus job, was really tough stuff, with dishing out a sackfull of goodies 3 times over, with more than 100 plus little Santa Claus rushing for their gifts'. Hehehehehe.


Which of these guys is Bill Begg? Let me give you a hint; he's not the one not holding the mic- photo from Checker Sport
