I miss the Northwest (scenery and sports) so much! I will say that you can't go hungry for sports in Houston so I'm not complaining - at least I can catch a hockey game here.
I've actually started blogging (I work for a marketing firm, Spotlight Creative, LLC), so check out my and my company's Twitterings:

I'll be keeping an eye out on the Canucks and if you ever get down our way... let me know!
Best wishes Gord!

Glad to see you here! I remember watching the Canucks while growing up in Seattle and am still a fan! I remember watching Ron Sedlbauer become the first Canuck to notch 40 goals - I think it was the '78/'79 season. Boy that ages me! I was in sponsorship sales for 5 years and am now develop recaps and internal communications for corporations and professional sports teams.
I thought you may be interested to know that you have many fans here in Houston - check out this article: http://preview.tinyurl.com/mj8ny6
All the best!
