Olympic Tickets and James

It's been a busy week for me, as I've been peddling my Olympic tickets. I am keeping my prices in line with current market value now, so I hope I can make the sale and get the money into my account!

I sold a couple tickets for less than market value, and am happy with that decision. However, I haven't seen any tickets that cheap advertised, so my customers will be quite happy. I will have to work harder to make the next sales though, since everyone's tickets are at the same price point.


I'm using Craigslist, and I have to update my posts and track other posts to see what the prices are like. I'm right there with the other prices. People should purchase from me because I will deliver them (if the price is right) to Vancouver.

My ads are here and here.

Today I visited with Carmella and James in the village. James has a snowsuit with attached mittens.





It was a beautiful day today, with blue sky and clouds. We don't often see the sky here!



When he toddles around, Carmella must make sure she's close since he often tips over. We didn't bring him too close to the snow incase an errant skier or rider lost control and hit him.

There's lots of Olympic action in Whistler now, mostly all construction. Volunteers are getting their free gear, and people are beginning to arrive in town. I used to loathe the coming of the Olympics, but not so much anymore because they give me an unusual oppurtunity to benefit financially!

Olympic Tickets for sale!

I bought a healthy dose of Olympi tickets when they went on sale a few months ago. I got some xc skiing, and some biathlon tickets, four of each.

As the events come nearer, I realize that I'm happy to go to biathlon, but that I don't really need to see the xc skiing.

So, I'm going to try and sell my 4 xc tickets, and two of my biathlon tickets.

Any takers?

Let me know!

Carmella and I go to CBC!

A few months ago Carmella and I toured the CBC in Toronto, with one of her childhood friends Nancy. Here are some pictures!

Glen Gould sits outside on the street, in front of the Glen Gould Studio. Knowing that he was a depressed individual, I pat him on the head to make him feel better.

Nancy and Carmella explore Mr Dressup's tree! Casey and Finnigan are not present unfortunately.

Carmella and I discuss hockey, after giving Ron and Don the boot.

We then move on to the important newsmaking items of the day, subbing in for George.

A great day!
