For a New Year's Resolution, I thought I should get in shape and take some dancing lessons. So far it's going pretty good!

I never thought I'd see the day where I'd enjoy seeing sunrises on a regular basis. I could probably count the times I've seen 5AM on the clock on my hands....and now I see it every morning. It is peaceful getting up-and-at-'em that early and enjoy the World almost to yourself for a short while.

Good times on Saturday...I took Brody up to where we fly our hang gliders. The land-owner had his annual fly-in where mostly home-built planes fly in, have lunch and fly home. The weather didn't cooperate so only a few showed up but the one owner was nice enough to let Brody and me sit in his plane. Brody called it a 'mini-plane'.

I took the trek to Leamington to meet Phil Brown, a lone HG pilot in his area. We've exchanged lots of emails over the past year as I've had interest in flying from his area back to where I live (and beyond) as he's got some convergence lines that set up as he's squished between two of the Great Lakes.

Last week I went through my hang gliding instructor's certification (which also took me away from my Nissan Cube contest).

I've had many requests for updates on the Nissan Cube contest....what happened to my DAILY blog posts?!?!

Well, I had good intentions....I was going to do it. But here's the scoop...there's always a story with me. Not such a good one this time.

It's great to see my bro-in-laws businesses getting some press:

Support me by buying a Cube...somehow I doubt any others would....but knowing my buddy Bruce, he will do this!

Bruce sent me this note:
"I'll register a vote for your free car tonight. If you win... I'll buy one for my gf (her CRV is getting old and should be replaced) Pass this info on. My local dealership is Brasso Nissan in Calgary."

I've had a few questions on HOW to vote. I probably confused things more yesterday with mentioning Facebook....you DO NOT need a Facebook account to vote for me.

I put together this two-minute instructional video on how to vote for me - click here to watch the video.

In the spirit of the HyperCube Contest I'm in, I thought I'd try to "Cube" my number of Facebook friends. I don't spend 'much' time in Facebook (compared to how much I hear others use it) so I thought cubing my number of friends may be a realistic task.
