Spain vs Portugal

Doug Smith
This should be a really interesting match. On one hand there is the control, skill and experience of Spain and on the other side there is the explosiveness and threat of Ronaldo.

Euro 2012 Knock Out Predictions

Doug Smith
I guess I better get this down in writing before the games start! Czech Republic vs. Portugal: Czech. I don’t know if I’m picking them because I’m not a fan of this year’s Portugeuse team, or if I really think the Czechs will be the better team.

Spring Skiing

Doug Smith
This week the kids have been attending a ski camp up at Mt. Seymour. The camps run in the morning from 9:30 to 11:00 (Emma) or 12:00 (Grady).

Bella Coola

Doug Smith
I had big plans to go to Bella Coola last weekend. There was talk of great coho fishing and I was keen to do some spey casting and landing some bigger northern coho.

Fitness Improvement

Doug Smith
I’ve been trying to convince my buddy Al that he needs to start bike training with power. You see, Al foolishly signed up for next year’s GranFondo, which is essentially a 120km bike race.
