Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

What are everyone’s plans to say goodbye to 2011 and ring in 2012?

 For me this afternoon is going to be spent at Citizens Bank Park for the Flyers/Rangers alumni winter classic game. I have been a Flyers fan for as long as I can remember so a chance to go watch some of the players that have made this team great over the years is very exciting.  I am looking forward to seeing Bernie Parent back in net one more time. The LCB line will be skating together again.  Eric Lindros is back for a day wearing Orange & Black, along with John LeClair. One of my favorite players, Rick Tocchet will be playing.  It should be a fun day in Philly.

Sloths


 Last night on Animal Planet the show was "Too Cute! Baby Sloths". It was filmed at the  Aviaros del Caribe Sloth Sanctuary in Cahuita Costa Rica.
 It really was too cute and got me wanting to be back in Costa Rica watching the sloths. When we were there in 2006 we got to see many 3 toed sloths. One afternoon in Manuel Antonio National Park we got to watch a sloth make its way down a tree to go to the bathroom. Sloths only go to the bathroom once a week so its a big event for them. They are also extremely slow moving, the whole process took about an hour. It was amazing to be that close and watch.

Here are the pictures of the big event for Mr. Sloth



Another day we got to watch one switch from one tree to another.
