bonne annee


This photo was taken at Broadway and Granville, December 29th, at twilight, about 4:30 p.m.

Canadians who want to start the year enjoying one of our greatest assets/exports (humour), check out this article and tune in to the CBC January 1st and 2nd. (Our other greatest exports, according to Mike Myers, are hockey players and bauxite.)

Awesome photo and a great representation of the concept of passing from one year into the next.

Now I can see it, too! I hate to admit that I'm not brilliant -- I just liked the photo. But hey, maybe my subconscious has a leg up on the rest of me that I don't know anything about. It's probably best to keep it that way... :)

Did the year pass that quickly? Now that I have more years in back of me then ahead, I sure wish they'd go slower. Great pix to start the new year.

hi andrea, I see we all made it to 2006 yahoo! love this picture really beautiful colours! Thi article made me a little sad as Phil Hartman was my husbands brother. I hope that he is included in this show! They erected a statue of Phil in Brantford along with the Wayne Gretzky statue(the 2 most well known brantfordinites) and John along with the town of Brantford put on a major comedy festival in Brantford after his untimely death death. I love comedy and my John is as funny as Phil was! I will show this to John as I'm sure he would like to know about it.

Brian and Janey: Thanks!

Merlinprincesse: Did you knowhtat Wayne & Shuster were the only act that Ed Sullivan would allow to go on for 12-16 minutes?

Val: That's fascinating that your husband is Phil Hartman's brother and yes, Phil was a prominent segment in part 1. Your husband would've loved to have seen this show I think.

I'm sure that I already wished you happy new year somewhere else on your blog but, in case not, here it comes again: Happy New Year...I hope that 2006 will be a good one.

However, it seems that wishes of another sort are in order too:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
