Happy New Year

Well, the new year has started and what a year it's going to be. I'd like to wish all my readers a healthy and prosperous year for 2010. As usual, I, like many others, have made resolutions, which as many others, usually are set by the wayside as quick as we make them. This year I only have two - lose weight and stop smoking. The smoking is a difficult resolution to keep as old habits die hard. But, I am trying..not always successfully but, non the less, still trying. Let me know with your comments how your resolutions are going and what they are.
It's snowing like there's no tomorrow right now, 2 o'clock in the morning. The temperature is -24 with a chill factor of -31 because of the 17 km wind out of the NW. Not a good night to be out. Winter has finally arrived for the Yukon. The weather has been quite mild for this part of the season, so this cold weather is more true to the northern regions. It won't be long before we have the winter rendezvous and the finish of the Yukon Quest in February. Sitting here at work, it's hard to imagine that it is only about 5 weeks until Rendezvous. Hopefully this year I'll have a better chance to take some pictures of the festivities.
Good night to all and I look forward to reading your comments.
