Toronto AutoShow 2007

On Sunday, Alex and I went to the Toronto AutoShow and as expected, it was totally awesome. I sat in a Honda Civic Hybrid (AWESOME, tons of room and feels exactly the same as the usual kind of car I have driven), and a Toyota Prius (also pretty awesome, INSANE gas mileage 71mpg City, 67mpg Highway?!!! Yes it has HIGHER mileage in the City!!) So that was pretty amazing. I saw some cool new Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology, BMW and GM had some cool concept cars there. Also the usual Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, and Lotus-related madness. But first, a picture of Alex's Dad's new dog.

Office and AutoShow

Last night Matt had some crazy party he was at, and we were going to go but we were really tired from skiing. So instead we watched a good 8 episodes of The Office. Yeah, it just keeps getting better. Today I think we're going to the AutoShow so I'll have plenty of pictures if we get there today.

Skiing in Horseshoe Valley

Last night Alex and I came up to Alex's Dad's house here in Horseshoe Valley, Ontario. We are rockin' up here for a day or so and went skiing today to Horseshoe Valley Ski Hill. Awesome!!

It was a great day of skiing, nice powder and not too icy. It was -12 to start but "warmed up" to -5 which wasn't too bad. Some sun and not too much snow flying around so it was pretty legendary.

Here are some sweet pics.
