Just got this brief presser from the Canucks in my inbox. “A Special Announcement” can only mean “Good-bye.”

That’s all it said, the rest was just info for the media guys to get themselves sorted. It will happen at 11.

Here are 16 reasons why Trevor Linden is the Greatest Canuck.

						Team Diabetes Easter Island: One Year Countdown
				
Posted by: buzz in charity,  team diabetes,  travel				

			

			
We are now into the countdown.  This past weekend the 2008 edition of the Easter Island Marathon went down, and in one year, I will be there with Team Diabetes.
So far I haven’t been able to nail down this year’s results but I did manage to dig up the 2007 finishing times, and this Chilean news story about the 2007 event.

While I’m there I might also offer up my services in web design.  The official home of the race is a little, um, well, … broken.
“We had a strong response from the islanders and mainland Chile in this past years,” said Race Director Rodrigo Salas. “The last six years we welcomed runners from around the world.”
You can be a part of the Team Diabetes effort, by signing on to run with 95Crave Team Diabetes Disney World, or by making a donation towards Team Diabetes Easter Island.
