Dear Friends,
Another year has drawn to a close, and it's time to look back at our
accomplishments of the past twelve months. We're so proud of our family's achievements and want to share
them with those who are dear to our hearts. Some of our fondest memories of
2008:
*
Michelle had her baby (no, not that one) and is taking full advantage of the Canadian
government’s generous maternity leave policy. We expect her back sometime around 2013.
* Mike completed a lifelong dream and became the world’s first head-banging ninja
film critic.
* Eugenia consumed 152,846 calories cooking for her Spark articles,
and she will gladly eat another Sausage McMuffin for the sake of the Spark.
* Jessica finally picked a winner. Sort of.
* Robert’s World of Warcraft gold farming business has gone bust (his Chinese workers revolted,
demanding time for sleep despite his generous offer of more Red Bull).
Undaunted, he plans on making a killing selling fake tickets to the presidential inauguration. Got to love his
entrepreneurial spirit. Wish him luck!
* Richard finally joined Facebook this year
and no one has seen or heard from him since.
* Suzi is sick to death of the incessant pleas to upgrade your
television with a digital conversion tuning box prior to the FCC's digital TV
transition in February. She’s also trying to beat her addiction to the
Discovery Channel's "Storm Chasers" (in HD, baby!) by replacing it with an obsession
with "Antiques Roadshow."
* Liz made progress on her screenplay about gigantic, possessed
parade balloons that break free and take over a city.
* Chris has developed an obsession with downloading his entire life onto the Internet and becoming "VirtualChris."
* Helene fait un
effort courageux pour comprendre ces Américains fous, mais je ne sais pas si
cela en vaut la peine.
* Dave followed his crapping out on Jeopardy! with an attempt to memorize every useless factoid of
trivia in the world and writing a Spark about it. 182 down; who knows how
many to go?
Warm wishes to you and yours over the holidays and in the
coming year.
Love,
The Spark Household
