Managed to get the first set of family gifts off today. Not too bad, certainly better than a couple of years ago when I didn't even send stuff out until AFTER the new year!

I'm listening to a Facebook seminar right now. Very interesting stuff- who knew that it's basically got so many users that it's the 3rd largest country in the world (even larger than the U.S.). Crazy!

Jeff and I watched a really interesting documentary last night- part of the "30 for 30" series on ESPN. It was about the Gretzky trade in the late 80s. Funnily enough, it was directed by a guy named Peter Berg. He's directed a handful of movies over the past 20 years and he was in a movie that my brother and I used to watch when we were younger. You know, one of those cheesy, straight to cable, B-level movies- can't remember the name, but it was about snow skiing.

The documentary went into the business transaction of the trade at first, but then the personal emotion Gretzky had about leaving Edmonton to go to LA. I remember the trade, and I remember his wife getting thrown under the bus (speaking of B-level movies- anyone care to guess her name?). She was just part of the overall thing- ultimately, it was Wayne's decision to go ahead- apparently, he had the Edmonton coach trying to get him to change his mind all the way up to the live press conference. Anyway, interesting stuff.

Love those kind of documentaries!
