Mickey Rourke ended being a big winner at the Golden Globes on Sunday Jan 11th.  Another actor taking home alot of hardware was Kate Winslet, we won Best Supporting for The Reader and Best Actress in Revolutionary Road. A foreign film beat out all others for Best Picture, that was  Slumdog Millionaire.

We talked about the Times Colonist and their new archive web page, where you can do a virtual thumb through of every newspaper between 1858 and 1910. It’s great if you are looking up your family tree or a history buff. Check it out here

One of our Ocean Jet winners had cabin fever during our recent dumping of snow and couldn’t take it anymore!!  Luckily, we take off next week for Mexico! Make sure you listen to our reports Jan. 19-23rd from beautiful Cancun.
