Can you believe it is that time of year again?! Time seems to fly by faster with each passing year.
Rastin and I would like to wish all of our wonderful Tazzu friends a Happy Holiday, and a prosperous New Year!
Thank you for another year of your friendship and your support. 2010 certainly is going to be a very exciting year for us with the arrival of Anahita getting closer every day. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted.
Cheers!
Rastin and Jen
PS: Let’s not forget about those less fortunate than us. Maybe drop off some food to the Food Bank, visit someone who is house-bound, or give a special donation to the Salvation Army.
If we all just do one thing, we may be able bring a smile to someone’s face this Christmas who usually struggles this time of year.
We are truly blessed – lets spread it around.

I first met Michael-James Pennie at a Tazzu networking even a few years back. I know him as a remarkable, upbeat and positive man.
I read for the first time today that his family has been coping with a debilitating disease which has afflicted his father, Jim, over the past several years… in 2003 he was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Pennie writes: “Our personal lives have never been the same. I never wanted to burden those close to me with my challenges, although there was a nagging instinct inside of me that refused to go away. I had to do something. I became inspired to share my story. I became inspired to be proactive to help not only my father, but those other families affected. “

This month’s Tazzu Spotlight member is Peter, known as pkthree at Tazzu.
Typically a man of few words in the Tazzu Forums, I was delighted to his colorful responses to the questions I asked him.
Rather than rework the ‘interview’ I’ve simply copy and pasted it so we get the full meal deal – Peter Keung is in the house!!
1) Where were you born and – how did you find your way to Vancouver?
I was born in Mississauga, Ontario but I only think about it as the place where Kleenex tissue paper was or is made. My dad worked in banking, so he took the family along as he got transferred to Burnaby, then to Vancouver Island, then to Quesnel, and finally back to the Lower Mainland, where we settled. I attended the last few years of elementary school here, then also high school and university. So I don’t have many memories from before I moved here. Now that I’m old enough to decide where I want to live, I’ve already been spoiled by Vancouver, which will be hard to top.
2) Tell us briefly about your family (parents? number of siblings?)
My dad was born in Hong Kong and my mom is from Singapore, but interestingly enough, they met in Wales. By now they’ve spent more than half of their lives in Canada. I have an older brother and I used to always want to do everything he was doing. He always beat me in basketball and tennis. I figure I now have the upper edge in hockey, but he doesn’t play hockey…
