i have a story from my pairing....i decided that i wanted to run on one of my maui pairings, so i went along the beach with my F/O. (first officer for those who dont follow aviation lingo:P) mind you, the FO use to be a marathon runner....he mentioned this but i naturally forgot...so we are off and running along the beach and let me tell you..sand is the best work out i think i have ever done in my life...especially when you havent been running in a while, and the person you are running with sets the pace at a run pretty much..not a jog haha...so picture us running and then heyy look, there are three steps up..(we are running off the beach now) stairs?? thats eeeeeasy..sooo i start up the stairs and i unfortunately miss the first one...and i fell flat on my face...i still have the markings from it...the FO was just staring at me and then he started laughing..he said it was the funniest thing ever...i had a mark on my upper thigh, and 3 war wounds on my ankle/foot...let me tell you...when i want to hurt myself i go ALLLLLL out....anyways the story is much better in person..well i think it is...enjoy the sunset...it will be a while before i see any of those again...

Regular naps prove good for the heart: study

A six-year study of nearly 24,000 Greek adults found that those who consistently took midday naps had a lower risk of dying from heart disease.
"Having a siesta reduces your probability of dying by about one third third," Dr. Dimitrios Trichopoulos, one of the study's senior authors, told CTV News British Columbia.
Researchers found that those who slept at least three times a week, for a minimum of 30 minutes, had a 37 per cent lower risk of dying from heart disease.
Employed men showed stronger benefits from napping than unemployed men, said researchers at the University of Athens Medical School.
"We interpret our findings as indicating that among healthy adults, siesta, possibly on account of stress-releasing consequences, may reduce coronary mortality," lead author Androniki Naska wrote in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
The study also showed that occasional nappers were less likely to die from heart problems than those who did not take naps, but researchers said the benefit was not significant.
Of the 792 men and women that died during the follow-up period, 133 died from heart disease. About half of the total subjects took naps.
None of the subjects, who ranged in age from 20 to 86, suffered from illness at the beginning of the study.

the trip to vanderhoof..

sooo here we go...story number 1...this is a quick re cap of my little roadie to vanderhoof....first off it was a little touch and go on if i would go,but i pulled it off and at 1139 we were driving out of pg on our way to the big city!! (vanderhoof has maybe 10,000 in it i think) it was a short drive to the city and we made it just in time for her blood work...the pictures shown there are of her in her gown and then us on the drive there...the big city hospital...which is super out dated...its almost funny....it was a fun time with lots of jokes...Oh better get back to the hotel to miss "rush hour"...annnd then the airport...here is a picture of it...

does anyone see anything funny about this picture?? other than somewhere in that picture there is a runway....read the sign...

dance party!!!!!

alright..so first off...sorry to my avid blogger reading fans...if there are any...i have been slacking on the posts...

so i went to abbotsford to see my cousin, brother, sister in law and the niece...wow it was a family filled weekend..

so on saturday, ej came over to my brothers, and we decided to go for lunch with my brother and sister in law and baby M. before we went to the restaurant, we decided that we wanted some coffee....
we hit up starbucks by seven oaks, and i decided that i wanted a traveling mug...i knew which one though and that starbucks didnt have it...so we went to the other star bucks..in total we went to 3 different starbucks until i finally found it in surrey at guilford...
before i found it thought, we got on the freeway - dancing to ejs ipod....thats when Girls just wanna have fun came on....clearly i havent had a dance party lately so i busted out the "DANCE PARTY AT 1514!!!!!! weird..it was 1514 at the moment...so we started dancing and laughing...thats when we pulled out the bill dance...(the twist of the wrist while the index is rocking out by its self) and the tom dance...move the arm up and down with the index finger rocking out...again by itself...can you tell tom and bill are brothers???

alright so now that you have the mental picture..imagine us doing that...and then guy in the white ford pulled up beside me..and i just happen to glance over and see him staring at us and almost crying because he is laughing so hard at us..soooo i think that just made us dance harder because we sure didnt stop...


also we went to the GAP, and supported the (RED) line...i am ado(RED) and so is EJ!!!! i suggest everyone support it..it is a GREAT cause..
we had decided that the farr family is clearly crazy...i guess ejs name is true...crazy people do have more fun!!!
