Today was the first day of the Germans being here. I took Laura through some of Vancouver; from the Main Street Skytrain down to gastown, and over to Canada place. We then had lunch at the Bryce’s, drove to burnaby to pick up a curtain, drove to Delta for the welcome party, drove to Cloverdale […]

So, tonight I didn’t go to the fireworks. And I didn’t get to see Michelle. But, we did make 12 personal size pies for the Germans arriving tommorow. Good news – I’m seeing a friend tommorow morning. (Yes, the morning – isn’t that an interesting time to see someone?). And tonight I watched Harry Potter […]

Watching this film again. Raises the question, is it relavent now? Or, has anti-decadence become chique? I suppose not. Any yuppies to comment, perhaps some yuppie fans of the film?

Dave I’m looking in your direction). She was around all day yesterday, […]

Today was an interesting day. Today Tashanna’s plan of having our CISV kids paint, and sell their paintings to strangers to raise money for activities came to fruition. I was put on edge when I learned that we would each be doing our own paintings (she had prepared nine “Canvasses”, i.e. pieces of thin wood […]

The one day biking extravaganza was an ultimate success. This morning, Simon, Milan and I ferried our bikes to the fabulous Gulf Islands. We rode most of the way down the island, saw StoneWorld, hung out in a cave, and ate an amazing dinner at the Market (highly recommended). To avoid: Montegue Bay; a hangout […]
